Cow Goes "Weekly Status Report 11" Moo

Week 11 of Cow Goes Moo, we learned several new features of the Visual Basics. After reviewing the different careers related to computers others in the class researched, we learned Timer control which is used to respond to the time event. Once the Timer Control's Enabled property becomes True, it updates and receives an event at every time interval set. The interval is set in milliseconds. However there are few limitations to Timer control, like the maximum interval is only 64767, meaning no more than little over a minute can be set as an interval or the fact that the timer might not be able to keep up with its interval due to its accuracy. We applied the Timer Control to create a stopwatch program where the timer control enabled is set true if the start button is clicked. Another lesson was on the While Loop. This loop is used when the statement needs to be repeated indefinite amount of times and is only stopped if a given condition is matched. Using this, we started working on a program that determines the number of times that a positive even integer can be divided by two and a program that determines if a SIN number is valid.

The program that determines if a SIN number is valid using a While loop is yet completed and is the primary goal for the upcoming week.
The week also included a unit test. I feel I did very good on this test even though the next day in the course of reviewing the questions on the test, I realized I got the last question completely wrong. The day before the test, we had a practise test and review on things learned before. I didn't so particularly well in that practise test and had to study the previous lessons again to prepare for the test. The biggest challenge and the acheivement for the week was the test and I believe its been resolved by studying and reviewing the notes from previous classes.
