Most confusing lesson ever

"I'm not confused, I'm just well mixed"
- Robert Frost

I am sure that by looking at the title of my blog entry, you can guess that I am very confused my today's lesson. So many variables! So many sections! So complicated!

Today, we were asked by Mr.Arkin to write the algorithm for our substring assignment 11. The first time we did this, I did okay but I was not clear about the loops when I wrote it. Mr.Arkin asked us a second time to do it with the modified version of assignment 9 that we finished last night. I understood from writing the algorithm for assignment 11 so I was able to do this one with accuracy. Later, we learned some new ways to make our program look more like an algorithm. It was pretty cool! We learned how to use programmer defined- functions. I actually found the program as a whole to be confusing but I was able to understand how to write the functions and how they work. That part was pretty easy to understand.

For homework, we were asked to modify all of our assignments from #10-#24 (where we could) so that we include functions in our program. I still have to do so wish me all the luck1 I have a feeling I will need it. I hope to get that all done today along with my other homework because I came home pretty late so I don't have as much time to work. I hope all goes well! :-D
