With whom did you work?

I worked with my teammates: Jian Mitchell & Noah deFer

What was your strategy for solving the assignments?

Did you start writing code right away? Did you plan it out on paper?

We did not plan it out on paper, instead we simply dived headfirst into the assignment I simply just followed the UML diagrams and replicated the logic the teacher described.

What was THEIR strategy for solving the assignments

Noah: “My strategy was to read all of the method descriptions before I wrote any code. As I read them I created method stubs, and detailed TODO comments for each method. Afterwards, I started writing the methods from top to bottom in the assignment prompt. If a method called another method that I had not written yet, I would go ahead and write that method first so I better understood how they interacted.”

Jian: Was strategy was to understand the prompt and ensure that he mapped out all the guidelines and rubric. He did run into a few roadblocks, one of which was using “Double” instead of “double”, so that caused him a little bit of trouble.

How would you change your strategy having worked on the assignment?

I would not change my strategy, this assignment was kinda like building a Lego set, everything is there you just gotta follow the instructions, there isn’t much room for creativity. I hope other assignments in the future would be more generic and focused on the end result rather than source code process.

According to your classmate(s): how well does your code follow the

A common theme in my responses was:

• Tabs that are 4 spaces

What was the most challenging part?

The prompt, it felt like a Lego set that partially didn’t follow the “best practices”. In my opinion obviously.

What was the most interesting?

The fact that it worked the first try

What are you the most proud of?

Getting the assignment done, since I didnt really understand what i was making, like a lego set without a final photo, I had no idea what to expect. But in the end, it was basically a tiny text generator.

How did you celebrate completing the assignment? 

I hung with family and friends, not neccesarily because of this assignment, but it was a good way to recharge
