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.

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.
