This week of if statements

so this week were are doing IF statements. These I can tell will be pretty fun. If statements basically give code life and more options than just a one-way code. For example, in gridworld, a character can move anywhere it wanted despite other objects occupying the space. But with the application of if statements, one can make it to where the character can't move anywhere because an object is in it's way. learning how to do if statements wasn't so hard, i mean the whole logic behind it is "if it does(n't) do this, it'll do this instead."
     The labs for the if statements were fairly easy and I was able to become creative. in these labs, i did not need much help on figuring out what to do, so really if's just come natural to me :p

Strings

So in Comp Sci this week, the goal is to figure out strings. I think because this lesson went slow and thorough, i was able to understand it perfectly. In the labs, when I encountered an error, unlike most other times where I ask for assistance from the teacher, I usually figured the string labs myself. Not only that but it allowed for me not to have as much stress trying to solve a problem in time before class ends. Now I usually have enough time to hang out, which i really like. Also, i have noticed that even though I'm sorta off task, Im still able to get ahead of some people. That too makes me happy.

week 2 blog responce.

So this week I got news of a new earth sized planet being discovered. As a child, my dream was to find the first aliens in space as an astronomer, so news like this really excites me. If we were to actuatly find life on this planet 20 light years away, the knowledge would turn our culture inside out.

week 2 class.

So this week I had to take the 6 weeks test. For a little bit, I was afraid of not remembering about what Scanners were, but luckily i was able to still do good on the test. I enjoyed difficulty of this test, it really wasn't that hard at all. This also makes me afraid for free-response code writing questions. Now that we're moving on into new territiory, i hope i can stay caught up with this class.
