Cow Goes "Weekly Status Report 5" Moo

Week 5 of Cow Goes Moo, my main objective for the week was to be on cruise control and wait for the weekend, which is MARCH BREAK!!! Also the main objectives for the course was the Voting Program thats due Friday and the Test on programming which was Thursday and complete them with success. This week, we learned more detailed usage of SELECT CASE statement. It is used for situation where mutiple conditions and codes that go along with the conditions are needed. We worked on grading, pizza and voting programs that used IF or SELECT CASE statement to practice the statement over and over. We also leanred what Debuggin is and the 3 main different errors that might occur during programming. They are complier error, which is mistakes like spelling, the run-time error, which is a situation where the operation cannot be run, and logic error, which is an error that doesnt effect the programs ability to run but result is not the expected due to a wrong code. We also learned different way we can find and fix these errors.
By handing in the voting program along with its flowchart, there is no more work left, especially because its MARCH BREAK!!!! However future goal is do better in test. I did the test on thursday and i feel very bad about the result. I thought I did enought preparation but apprantely I was very wrong. This is an area where I have to definetly improve and be set as a future goal.
There were many challenges using the CASE statement. I have struggled because I thought the pizza program used CASE statement and could not get it woring properly. The problem kind of got solved by itself when I found out the IF statement could be used instead of the CASE statement. Another problem was the voting problem, which sounded extremely hard at first. However once I started, and with some help of classmates, the program did not seem very hard at all. The flowchart was not hard but long, and took me several trys to make in fit into a paper, but only to find out that turning the paper sideway can solve the problem. Lastly the biggest challenge was the test, which didn't get solved at all because I do not feel very good on how I did.
