Catching Up Episide Four:Return of the Blogger

Final post!

Yesterday we learned how to make some homemade input boxes without having to steal them from Visual Basic. I personally like the VB input boxes because they are so simple and creating an entire new form just to input data is a bit over kill. I'll be sticking to the VB input boxes unless we absolutely have to use them, they seem to be pretty efficient.Yesterday's homework with the error trapping character pressing was something I still don't get, I only managed to get half of my homework done because of how confusing it was. Hopefully in the future things will come a bit more naturally.

Today was great, we did some work with methods (or subroutines) which can be used to automate tasks that will be repeated multiple times. I was impressed at how simple they were to create and use and I hope to make good use of them through the rest of this course. Today's homework was pretty cool as well, I managed to get most of it done without a hitch but the Even Odd program gave me some trouble and even now still puzzles me. I think I found a work around for the remainder division question though because using the % as the division modifier I was able to do the entire method in a single line. We also took a look at problem solving, debugging (which I still can't do properly) and my nemesis. FLOW CHARTS. I still can't draw a proper flow chart but the teacher recommended we use FastDraw which made things alot easier.Hopefully we won't be doing too many of those...
