REFLECTION QUESTION #44

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

A: The choices that I face during coding my program are to choose between using || or && in the condition statement in loop. I chose to choose || because by using && it's make the statement either always true or always false which is not what I want and so || would be a better choice.

REFLECTION QUESTION #43

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 while coding my program is that I couldn't make the program correctly follow the case where if the user get the answer wrong it will trigger the if/then statement. I planned to overcome this problem by changing the sign in control statement.

REFLECTION QUESTION #42

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 program is that I almost complete my first mini program, Attacking a target, I only have to change something on the code and I'll be done. The thing that I need to complete in the next class is the second mini program project, or at least get start on it and get through more than half.

REFLECTION QUESTION #41

Q: Provide yourself an example (not one from your instructor) of how you use a particular command that will help jog your memory in the future when you need that command again. You must provide a little code as well as a written explanation with this one.

A: void getInfo(double &f, double &l)
{
count<<"Enter your first name"<<>
cin>>f;
count<<"Enter your last name"<<>
cin>>l;
}
This code is a function code, it's allow me to separate task into little subsections of code that I then can call them from main. It help me separate the codes into sections which make it easier to work with.

REFLECTION QUESTION #40

Q: Summary of what you read.

A: Nanotechnology is a field of applied science and technology whose theme is the control of matter on the atomic and molecular scale. One nanometer is one billionth of a metter. Example of the nanotechnology is Buckminsterfullerene C60, also known as the buckyball, is the simplest of the carbon structures known as fullerenes. The first use of the distinguishing concpepts in 'nanotechnology' was in an American Physical Society meeting at Caltech on December 29, 1959.

REFLECTION QUESTION #39

Q: Summary of what you read.

A: Comcast corporation has been accused of blocking or at least throttling traffic from subscrubers trying to share files through peer-to-peer network for some time now. It has claimed that peer-to-peer traffic comprises a significant portion of total internet traffic so Comcast has limited bandwidth available for its millions of customers and has reportedly cut off service for some users who used more than their share of bandwidth. And so it was recently sued by a California man for interfering in file sharing.

REFLECTION QUESTION #38

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 added 5% tax sale calculation in to my code, put in the heading, and improved some codes and visual in my program. The things that are need to be completed in the next class are to put comments through out my program and to turn it in.

REFLECTION QUESTION #37

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

A: The choices that faced in developing my solution is to either choose between using the switch/case or if/then. I chose switch/case because the codes have to deal with both upper and lower cases so switch/case would be a better choice and better suite for my choice.

REFLECTION QUESTION #36

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 while developing my solution is that I could not add the amount entered to the total amount. I planned to overcome this problem by instead of using while loop, I'm going to use for loop instead, then changes some codes and maybe I'll fix this problem.

REFLECTION QUESTION #35

Q: Summary of what you read.

A: Intel releases it first 45nm processor for desktop as a part of Penryn family, the Intel® Core ™2 Extreme Processor QX9650 (today 11/12/07). In this newly chip there is 820 million transistors, which is their biggest breakthrough yet. With this new Hi-k silicon technology the chip will be 20% to 50% faster than Intel's previous chip releases in general purpose applications and 10% to 40% faster in technical applications, multimedia and games. It also enable a 50% higher larger L2 cache and improve the level of Energy-Efficient Performance to the next levels.

REFLECTION QUESTION #34

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 that I completed the second loop problem on the practice work sheet. The thing that I need to be completed in the next class is the last problem or the third problem on the practice work sheet.

REFLECTION QUESTION #33

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

A: I tested my program by run it. The results were the program opened up but nothing is shown so the results were bad. But I went back to the code and found out what's wrong and fixed it and run it again and this time the program ran perfectly as I wanted it to.

REFLECTION QUESTION #32

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

A: The choices that I had to face during developing my solution are to choose between using for loop or while loop. I choose among them by asking myself if I know the number of repetition I want in advance or not, I knew the number so I chose for loop because it's used when I know the number of repetition.

REFLECTION QUESTION #31

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 while developing my solution is I was unable to figure out what will appear in the console window by given codes. I planned to overcome this problem by try the code on the computer and run it but the direction said that I can't do that so I guess the answer instead.

REFLECTION QUESTION #30

Q: What do you plan to study for quiz?

A: I planed to study the notes that I took in class about if - then statement and swtich and cases. I also planed to study the review sheet and maybe look at some sample codes.

Scored through 10/31. All blogs from this point forward are second marking period.
