Reading Summary

During silent reading, I read an article about a cyclone named Sidr hitting Bangladesh. It was a very devastating storm. About two thousand bodies were found and more dead bodies are continuously being discovered. Millions are without homes, and clothes are in out in the cold. The government is doing its best to help the people and private organizations are are also helping out. The sundarban forest was hit badly, damaging 74 acres of the forest and killing many, many animals. The sundarban forest is the home of the royal Bengal tiger. About five thousand fishermen are missing after the storm. It is thought that they are either dead or were swept away somewhere else. Recovering from this storm may take some time.

Thursday's Question

3). When I tested my program in step 7, exercise nine, all but one thing didn't work. The codes for a message to come when the user ID and password are both correct, when only the user ID is correct and when the password is correct, worked well. The textbox was also cleared automatically. However, I could not get the right codes for the program to limit the amount of times one can try entering a pass.

Reading Summary

During silent reading I read about an oil spill in the Black Sea. A strong storm sank a Russian ship that was carrying 1.3 million gallons of fuel oil. A few of the crew members died, and one is still missing. The oil spill is causing environmental issues and workers are out there cleaning up the mess. The tar and oil are harming animals, birds are flapping their wings to get the stickiness off their wings. Oil was not the only thing lost but a few thousand tons of sulfur had also sunk. This however is said to not cause any serious harm.

Friday's Question

4). On page 5-32, exercise seven, I would suggest using select case statements instead of using if...then statements when writing the codes. The select case statements make the codes shorter and easier to use than if...then statements but only if you know how to use the select case statement.

Thursday's Questions

3). When i tested the first part of my program, it worked well. I did not get to test out the second part of the guessing game where i had to make it so that there are only 3 guesses maximum one could make.

Wednesday's Question

2). When I was doing step four, I had a choice to use the select statements or the if...then statements to do the math tutorial exercise. At first I used the select statements but i realized that i was more comfortable using the if...then statements so I decided to use that instead.

Tuesday's Question

1). The problem I had today was with exercise 10 on 5-34. I was able to get the numbers to be random from 1 through 10 but could not get the math signs to appear randomly. I will try to change some things in my code next class and if that doesnt work, I will ask the teacher for help.

Reading Summary

In chapter ten of Into The Wild by Jon Krakauer, Chris McCandless’s dead body is found. It is all over the news and thousands of people are calling the troopers saying they have information about him or that he is related to them. There are however a few people that knew him but with a different identity that Chris McCandless’s gave when he was on his adventure. The few people knew it had to be him and they had good information to give that helped the troopers figure out who the dead person was. One person had the social security number of Chris McCandless from when he worked for the man. This was the major information that helped figure out that the dead body was McCandless. His family was notified soon after.
