I will understand!

"I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying."
- Oscar Wilde

Today, we dived deeper into the topics of functions. Most people were not able to finish all of the homework last night or even any of it because they did not understand the concept of functions. I was one of those people who did not completely understand it but did some what. I had completed my homework but they did not run successfully. Boohoo... We did a small overview of it and dug a little deeper though.

We also learned about how procedures work. As you know procedures perform a defined task while functions return a single value. We learned how this rule really does apply today in class. It is a lot like writing a function but at the same time it is very different. I hope to learn many more techniques to help me become a better programmer.

For homework, we were shown a model answer to the modified version of assignment 9 and we were asked to write what we believe is the function for one of the variables called nextConsonant. I am excited to know how it will work out. Yay!

Near, the end of the class, Mr.Arkin explained to us that we are going to form groups of three where everyone is at a different comprehension level of Computer Science. The task he asked us to do over the course of the week is to bring every one's understanding of Computer Science to the same level as everyone else. I am really excited because I am now going to get the opportunity to understand more instead of being the confused one all the time. In our group, we decided that tonight we would go through our notes and just note down what we found to be a little confusing so that we could get working for tomorrow. Wish me luck blog readers!
