Today we started off by writing a programming that that adds then prints adjacent odd and even numbers starting at zero and going up to twenty. I felt this exercise helped me improve my mathematical skills on Small Basic but I did not fully complete the exercise so I felt rather disappointed because of that.
We then moved on to doing our assignment ones. I am doing task one which is to create a Power Point that talks about the different aspects of coding like paradigms and what a computer programme is. I have managed to do about five slides so far but hopefully over the weekend I can add more to it and make sure I meet the deadline of the 21st of October.
Finally we moved on to making a programme in Small Basic that makes a turtle draw a certain letter in the alphabet. I was assigned the letter F and it took me a while to work out the angle of movements and turns but after about twenty minutes of coding I manged to make the turtle draw the letter successfully. Five minutes later I was told my letter did not fit the screen and I had to change certain aspects. This made me sad because I thought I had done good work.
Overall today was a very typical boring but busy day that involved a lot of work in assignment one and a lot of Small Basic work that will improve my skills but not my knowledge because I am not very good at remembering things. The positive of this week was that I have just about gripped the basics of programming and coding. The negative of this week was the millions of annoying pieces of work that frustrated me and almost made me punch myself.
