Success 101

"The person who gets the farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare. The sure-thing boat never gets far from shore."
-Dale Carnegie

As you may all know, Mahak and I are very good friends and according to Mahak we are in our first fight (no we're not, trust me, it is just her way of fun!). She isn't talking to me. I am really sad so I would like to keep it on the down low.

Today, we learned about the three skills of being successful programmers and how to achieve each of these skills or even improve them. I actually took the advice very seriously and I am going to use it to improve before our test next class and for the rest of the course and I have a feeling it will be helpful later as well with other courses.

We also looked at alternative ways to do repetition 8 so that it is easier to understand for both the programmer and the computer. Even by changing the order of the if statements, you can give the computer an easier time with processing the work. There were so many different alternative ways I didn't even notice. Wow!

For the rest of the period we were given more class time to catch- up and work on all of our assignments to get ourselves ready for the test next week. For homework, all we have to do is catch-up on all our work. I am about to go to the library so I have to go. I have been waiting for a while and bugging my mom so much to take us so I have to go. Oh no! She is putting on her shoes. Bye!!!!
