Half Term!!!!!!!

Today we started off with a starter activity that required us to create a program that asked for five names and the scores those five names achieved. The extension was to add arrays to the code of the program meaning more names could be added without having to count them in manually. I felt the task went well because I successfully created a program that matched the activity's requirements however I did not have enough time to move on to the extension.

We then moved on to working on more of assignment two in which we have to develop a Power Point that covers the software development cycle and some of the weaknesses and strengths of certain aspects of it. I feel this task is going very well now and I should hopefully have the assignment completed by the deadline after half term.

We then moved on to a quiz and the subject of this quiz was about flow charts and pseudo code. I found this quiz to be relatively easy because I achieved a score of ten out of fourteen this was because I know a fair bit about flow charts and some basic information about pseudo code.

Finally we looked at pseudo code in more depth and talked about how much of it we have to do when we start assignment three in just over a weeks time. I felt that I now know some more information on pseudo code but not enough information to say that I fully grasp the whole thing about pseudo code.

Overall today was a good day because I am starting to get to grips with coding even though we started it like two or three weeks ago. The positives from this week were that I was able to hand in assignment one on time after working on it from home to make sure I finished it. The other positive was that I was able to learn more things about coding in Small Basic. The negatives are that I still have to do assignment three which looks daunting and the sheer enjoyment of looking over assignment three multiple times just to make it seem even more scary.
