Cow Goes "Weekly Status Report 10" Moo

Week 10 of Cow Goes Moo, I first started the week by completing the loop programs from last week which I had 4 out of 7 finished. The rest 3 programs were much more complicated than the 4 I've completed. It involved me setting up a n, number value, for calculating and creating a loop. The most complicated one was the final program where I had to develop a program which have to determine if a number inputed is a prime number or not. Then I moved on to creating a slide show using a picture box and a picturebox loop statement. The pictures would appear in sequence when a button is clicked. Next we moved on to learn the Exit For statement. Exit For statement is used when the user wants to exit the For...Next loop in the middle of the loop. We developed a average mark calculating program by using the Inputbox and we can terminate the program by inputing -1.

The most complicated program of the week was the guessing game program. We would use the randomize statement to let the program randomly select a number between 1 to 255 and the user would be given 8 tries to guess collectly with the hints given. either too high or too low. Finally we ended the week with a group project where we had to research 6 different careers related computers and make a report. For every career we divided it up into 4 subtopics, brief descriptions, education/training, potential workplace and the wages. We researched Game Designer, Web Designer, Securities Specialist, Computer Technician, Net Administrator and QA tester.

This week, all of the works were completed and feel comfortable with the skills learned. The challenge faced, by the whole class, was that when we saved a program into the G drive on the schools computers, the programs would not run due to some firewall and security issues. The problem was solved, atleast temperately, by saving the programs on to the USB key. The only problems with this is that we have to remember to bring the USB key everyday. Other than that, it was a week with all the works completed and not much goal for the upcoming week.
