Weekly Status Report

On Monday, no one was in class because the school was off for the Easter Monday. On Tuesday, we were finished our PizzaPalace project and our teacher marked it, i think we did pretty well. And as a treat, our teacher brought us some pizza. On Wednesday, we were given a lesson on using Loops in Visual Basic, which we went over when we were doing our flow charts, which was not in the program writing itself. We were given 7 small programs to complete that were based on using loops in different situations. An example of the loops excersizes is our 4th exercise, which asked us to write a program that calculates the product of odd numbers from 10 to 59. That would mean the program would calculate 11+13+15+17... and so on, until the number 59, and then it would output the sum.

On Thursday, we worked on more Loops, but it was debugging, as well as QuickWatching to use break points in the program, so we can see how the program works step by step. On Friday, We continued on the looping programs with QuickWatching, and we had to do 3 programs for what we did yesterday, which was set up the program, run through using QuickWatching, Make a table, and put each variable, and write the output. Except this time we had to describe it also, basically step by step.
