My CS Journey

 As we approach the final week of the class, I noticed that following along with project or assignment walk-throughs can tremendously help in understanding how to structure and build code. At times, I tried to use what I already knew about logic and structure to begin coding but I ended up having to rewrite a many sections of my work. This was especially true with the Markov assignment. I began on the assignment before I had looked through the slides and lectures for the week. This caused me to spend more time having to go back and fix my work where I could have taken the time to look over the prompt and plan how I was going to build the code. However, it has been a great learning experience and  One of the things I am proud of is my basic understanding of how to debug issues in IntelliJ and fix issues with my code. Often times, it can be intimidating to tackle issues on your own and change rewrite code that may cause more issues along the way. But nothing beats the feeling of...

 Markov Review 1. I worked with Kha Ai. 2. My strategy was to start implementing the methods in the order that they were listed on prompt document. I did not necessarily plan it out, just followed the order. I did not attempt to run the tests until I had a rough draft of how I thought each method should be implemented. Then I began debugging to see what I needed to fix. 3. Kha  Ai followed along with the Markov intro video while working on the assignment. She did not plan out how she was going to implement the methods, she just started coding. She completed all methods before running any tests and then began debugging.  4. I will try to plan out how I will implement the code using a diagram of sorts. I will also allow myself more time to complete the assignment and try to start on it as soon as it becomes available.  5. Since we first installed IntelliJ, I have been using the Google Java Style so all my files have followed the guidelines. I have used this to aut...

Project 1 Review 1. For this review, I worked with my team members: Joshua, Neng and Kha Ai. 2. My strategy was to start implementing the methods in the order that they were listed on prompt document. I did not necessarily plan it out, just followed the order. I did not attempt to run the tests until I had a rough draft of how I thought each method should be implemented. Then I began debugging to see what I needed to fix. 3. Kha Ai read through the whole prompt a few times before starting on the assignment. She did not plan out the assignment and just started coding after reading the prompt. She wrote the whole project out before doing any tests. Neng chose to write out all the stubs and tested them one by one to make sure they worked. He did this before created methods that called other methods.  4. Mainly, I would have allowed myself more time to work through it without having to stress on time. For the next assignment, I might try to write out methods that do not call other...
