42nd Lesson... Fresh Start

This lesson we were introduced to Chapter 9~ which dealt with lists. I understood a good deal of it and burnt most of the information in my memory. Lists are quite useful in many ways and I can see how they are used efficiently in programming. Instead of writing a separate command for each type we can just throw them in together to save time and space in our programs. The "range" command is especially a life-saver~ I had a lot of trouble with sequences in the previous chapter.

41st Lesson... SPRINGBREAKKKKkKKkkk

Today I finished chapter 7 exercises. Anyhoo, happy spring break Mr. Whittaker!

40th Lesson... Happy 40th Lesson!

Cheers, 40 lessons have passed since we started this class (approximately)~ Today we continued chapter 7 exercises, and I haven't completely lost where we are yet... I understand pretty much everything except some very minute details in the syntax. Anyhoo, it's Tuesddaaaaayyyyyy!

39th Lesson... Gah! Tired.

Today I finished a couple of exercises, and even figured out some errors on my own. Python is becoming more familiar to me and I'm quite happy with my accomplishments so far. However, I know I can do MUCH MORE... just need some inspiration to do this at home~ instead of using the computer for leisure. I can read loops and translate definitions into words now, kinda cool.

38th Lesson... FRIDAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Today we finished covering the find command and comparing strings, and I'm rather confused on some bits of it. Chapter 7 is proving to be a lot more complicated than previous sections, but I guess its only natural. Hopefully, I will manage to catch all this sooner or later~ but that can wait 'till Sunday... 'cause today is FRIIIDDDDAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYTYYYY!

-Happy Pie-Day Mr. Whittaker

37th Lesson... Brain Pump!

Just racked my head over a math test... and then racked it even more trying to understand yesterday's lecture with today's. Don't get me wrong, I managed to understand everything in time. I can look at string comparisons and give basic reasoning as to why that output was produced. Ahhhh~~~ lack of sleep is the biggest enemy to efficient thinking!

36th Lesson... Chapter 6 R.I.P.

Today I finished Chapter 6... It was a solid chapter, and one I enjoyed. Anyhoo, now we moved unto to a much more confusing chapter... Since firefox didn't work on this computer, I will browse over the lecture at home tonight. Bye.

35th Lesson... Woot Woot Woot

Today I got through 3 whole exercises! YEAH! HUZZAH! I'm on the last one, and am pretty sure I'll nail it down sometime soon. I fully understand the standard loop now, and feel confident of chapter 6. Now to go home and meditate on what I learned... zzz

34th Lesson... Monday Monday Monday

A bit shaky, but I got some exercises done today. Racking my head over what we learned last time, I managed to grasp things in time and nail down a few problems. I think I'm getting used to this... I can already start reading and comprehending command lines with little or no effort. Meh, today was a so-so day, and I did what I had to.

33rd Lesson... Math After Match Class

Today we finished going through chapter 6, and started on the exercises. However, it took me a while to figure out exercise #1, and so I did not have much time to figure out 4... and 4 is pretty hard... Yeah.

32nd Lesson... MY HEAD!

Today we created multiplication tables; the use of programming is becoming more clear to me every day! The while statement is invaluable, just like how it is in Guido... Now to go home and meditate on what I learned.

31st Lesson... Losing focus~~

Today we learned about inclinations in Python. It started out with basic explanations of rewriting over old assignments and then got more complex and diverse. From such a basic command we learned how to make sequence and countdown functions. Yeah, pretty good stuff...

30th Lesson... 30!!!

I finished chapter 5 exercises today easily. Yup. Mighty proud of it. Anyhoo today is the 30~ish lesson, and I feel like celebrating (didn't flunk yet)! Chapter 5 overall was quite easy, but I do not know what chapter 6 holds in store for us 'cause I never bothered reading the title on the how to think like a computer scientiest front page. Yup. Bye.

29th Lesson... THE REAL doctest

Ok, this time I did it right, I got the mainpoint of this lesson: Doctests. I added the doctests to my functions and it worked fine... it's a handy tool in my opinion. Yeah... Did a bunch of exercises today and didn't ask for TOO MUCH help. late for bus. bye.
