Today we started off with an exercise in which we had to mimic an example piece of paper in the middle of table. At first I found it completely mind blowing. I then used multiple cuts to try to come up with an exact copy. Unfortunately I didn't get it correct but I was very close. We then found out that it only takes three cuts to make and then twist some paper around in order to achieve the exact shape. I found this to be annoying as it seems such a simple thing now we know how to do it.
We then moved on to some more programming. At first I found this to be stressful but after an incredible amount of guidance from John I have so far managed to achieved a staggering 80 lines of code. I now feel more confident with programming and I now know that the deadline on Tuesday can be met and hopefully a high quality product if not something that works will be fine.
I feel I need some help grasping the Pseudo code section of the assignment but hopefully with guidance (again) I can make some Pseudo code that represents my currently in progress program. I now feel like I need less help with coding but I can never be sure as I still have a bit left to finish like working out the total cost of painting a room.
The positives from this week were that; I am beginning to grasp coding, I completed a Flo chart without help and I am no longer suffering from my chest injury I suffered during a Sunday football match. The negatives of the week were that; I didn't achieve blog star status, I still have to resubmit my previous assignment and that I can't write Pseudo code.
Overall Today was a good day as I got a lot of work done and I now feel more confident with programming then yesterday when I felt like I couldn't code anything. I also got to watch an amusing video about Amazon's new product the echo. It was hilarious particularly the way they shouted at it and asked it literally everything. The echoes jokes were worse than John's jokes which is hard to achieve.
