Weekly Status Report #15

This week in our computer programming class, we continued our lessons on ergonomics and continued working on our lottery ticket programs that we had marked. We also started to learn about visual basics animation and our computer science exam has been scheduled.

This week with ergonomics, we learned some stretches that we can do for a break from the computer and to make sure that we aren't harming ourselves while working on the computer. I finished my lottery ticket program and had it marked on Wednesday. I didn't have a lot of trouble with this program, it was just long and I had to comment the whole project. There was one problem when I had my program marked, it was that when the arrays reached -1, my loop kept going through all of the arrays. The way I could fix this problem is by having an 'If' statement saying that if the array is -1 then Exit For (this creates a more efficient program).

When we started with animations, I didn't understand how to do it, however after practicing a bit more I think I understand. I found the Zoom In assignment to be easier, it made more sense to me. I hope that next week I will be able to write a program with animation very easily.
