Cow Goes "Weekly Status Report 9" Moo

Week 9 of Cow Goes Moo, was another shorten week. The first day of the week, tuesday we finished up the pizza order form program from the previous week. We did learn something new this week. The main focus and skills learned is the loop. Loops are structure that repeats a set of statements. They are four loop statements, For Next, While loops, Do loops and For Each Loops. So far we've only learned the For..Next Statement. It uses a variable counter expressed as i or j or k and loops from For until the Next statement. We were given 7 different programs that uses the For...Next statement. For the rest of the week, we completed the loop work sheet. Total combined 7 different programs we made and uses the togglepoint to follow and learn how the loop operates. We made tables to trace the each steps which the program operates.

The work remaining for the week is the For...Next Statement programs. Out of the 7 programs, I have only completed around 4. If given time, finishing the rest of them is the priority for next week. Another goal for up coming weeks is the test that we probably will have. It is hard to remember the things learned before because there were many days off recently and its hard to keep it updated in my brain.

The challenge faced and the future goal is to check the program more carefully. For the pizza order form, we lost some easy marks because we did not double check the work well enough. For the next program that is being marked, it is important for me to carfully check if any small details are not finished.
