Catching Up Episode 2:The Blog Wars

More blogging!

After the scare that was the first couple of days we started working on something that I actually could do (Although I still couldn't log into the system properly). We started working with data types which made me flash back to my Turing course. The data types in Turing were:Int for integers,real for real numbers and string for string variables. C# decided it was too cool to actually make sense with the real data type so the names in C# are:Int for integer,double for real numbers and string for string variables. We also learnt some basic math functions (such as x=y+z) and some more complicated ones like Math.Pow(x) for doing advanced math functions.

Apparently there was some sort of practice quiz or something along those lines but I couldn't take it because I still couldn't log in properly (although I got to impersonate as Shailen for a little bit). Our homework included a restaurant tax calculator and a practice exercise involving deciding which data type to use for example variables. I managed to breeze through this with my previous programming knowledge and I'm guessing the other students did too.
