Validation And Verification

Today we started off with a quiz with questions based off of a video about the use of algorithms in society. I achieved a score of eight out of seventeen which is not too bad and it means I still don't have to write the quiz yet. We then moved on to talking about how to do flow charts and pseudo code. I found pseudo code to be easier because I struggled with the different shapes and arrows of flow charts.

We then moved on to making the coding for the guess the number game to tell users when they have either gone over one hundred or when they have gone below one. We did this by making the text window say something like "Do you not understand Instructions?" so the user would hopefully realise their mistake and avoid doing it again. I felt this task helped because it improved my skills and understanding of Small Basic.

Finally we moved on to talking about assignment one and the contents we should have on each slide. We then had the choice of learning even more about Small Basic or moving on to planning our assignment ones. I moved on to the plan and I have now finished it but I am not looking forward to when I actually start my assignment.

Overall today was a relatively boring day because although we began with a fun quiz we then moved on to work that I kind of understand but feel like I am learning a brand new language. Tomorrow we move on to working on assignment one, talking about data types and  making a turtle draw letters because we did not get to do it yesterday.
