REFLECTION QUESTION #29

Q: What progress did you make today on your solution? What needs to be completed next class?

A: The progresses that I made today on my program are I completed codding my selection program on level 3 and I have also did parts of level4. In the next class I will need to complete the whole level4 and find some ASCII graphics put them in, create a heading, and capture the out put.

REFLECTION QUESTION #28

Q: How did you go about testing your program? What were the results of that testing?

A: I tested my program by first look the codes over to see that I have every thing correctly in it's places and add anything that I think it should be in there. The results of that testing was good and my program ran smoothly fine.

REFLECTION QUESTION #27

Q: What problems did you encounter while developing your solution? How do you plan to overcome them?/How did you overcome them?

A: The problem that I encounter whiled developing my solution is that I was unable to run the program because I have used the same integer for the case more than once. I planed to find a way to fix it but for now I just use another number for that case instead.

REFLECTION QUESTION #26

Q: Summary of what you read.

A: IBM and Mediatek confirm that they are jointly launching a research and development project to develop ultra-fast chipsets. This project will use IBM's new millimeter wave radio chips and package technology with Mediatek's expertise in digital baseband and video processing chips. They said that this chip will allow consumbers to wirelessly transfer large multimedia data files around their home and offices in seconds. They planned to join together in the length of three years. IBM planned to commercialize products resulting from the joint development, and Mediatek will decide on the brand name.

REFLECTION QUESTION #25

Q: What choices did you face in developing your solution, and how did you choose among them?

A: The choices that I faced during developing my solution are to choose between using switch/case or using if then statement. I choose to use switch/case because they are less complicate and easier to for me to work with. I also think that they allow me to arrange my codes in a better structure for easy to understand.

REFLECTION QUESTION #24

Q: What progress did you make today on your solution? What needs to be completed next class?

A: The progress that I made today on my solution is almost completely write out the layout or how and what will show up on the story of the final program on a paper. In the next class the thing that needed to be complete is just for me to put my final thought on it and then start coding it.

REFLECTION QUESTION #23

Q: Summary of what you read.


A: Hitachi today announed that they are wroking on packing more data into the same sized hard disks with what is now the world's smallest read-head technology for hard disks. While others are starting to turn to solid state drives or hybrid drives with advantages of moving parts, faster reponse times and less power consumption, Hitachi continues to make advances on the HDD front stating it continues to provide a better capcity to cost ratio than other technologies. Hitachi have been able to reduce the size of the recording heads to be down in the 30-50 nanometter range with their new technology. Hitachi said that they maybe able to actually ship this 4TB HDD produts in 2009. And reach its full potential of 4TB HDD in a desktop in 2011.

REFLECTION QUESTION #22

Q: What progress did you make today on your solution? What needs to be completed next class?

A: The progress that I made today on my Selection Project was the ideas of how the story might be and the plan plus the choices for the story. The things that I need to complete in the next class are to write the actual code and further more plan about my intro and more choices and try to put the use those ideas to the program.

REFLECTION QUESTION #21

Q: How did you go about testing your program? What were the results of that testing?

A: I tested my program by completed all the coding first then run the program and if it doesn't work then I will go back and fix it. The results of that testing was great, my program and all the coding inside it work perfectly as I wanted them to.

REFLECTION QUESTION #20

Q: What choices did you face in developing your solution, and how did you choose among them?

A: The choices that I faced during developing my solution are to choose between using ';' or ':' when using the switch and case. At first I thought I was suppose to use ';' but then I realized when my program didn't run because I wasn't suppose to use ';' and so knew it was wrong and it was suppose to be ':' and by knowing that mistake I was able to choose to right choice.

REFLECTION QUESTION #19

Q: What problems did you encounter while developing your solution? How do you plan to overcome them?/How did you overcome them?


A: The problems that I encounted while developing my solution was that on the work sheet, I didn't know a solution to one of the questions. I overcame it by asking my friend and go back to review my notes for the solution.

REFLECTION QUESTION #17

Q: What choices did you face in developing your solution, and how did you choose among them?

A: The choices that faced during developing my solutin are to choose between using the word 'letter' or just 'a' to be use for char. I realized that it would be easier to use the word 'letter' instead of 'a' because by using 'a' it could easily get mixed up with the output in that program, which deals with a-z and numbers.

REFLECTION QUESTION #16

Q: How did you go about testing your program? What were the results of that testing?

A: I tested my program completed all the coding first then I clicked the debug button to test it. The results were great, usually the first time I tested each program it pretty much have everything that I need on it and then there's usually some visual or output's look that I didn't like, so I just when back to my code and fix and add some stuff into it so it would be perfect.

REFLECTION QUESTION #15

Q: What progress did you make today on your solution? What needs to be completed next class?

A: The progress that I made today was I completed the mini program project up until number seven. In the next class, I will need to finish up the last two or three parts that I have left.

REFLECTION QUESTION #14

Q: What problems did you encounter while developing your solution? How do you plan to overcome them?/How did you you overcome them?

A: The problem that I encountered while developing my solution is I could not get two numbers to square or square root. I overcame the problem by using the double instead of int because when square or square root numbers, it will not work with int.
