TIK weekly report 5

this week in TIK, we had learned quite a few new things about visual basics. We learned about Case programming, and we also learned about debugging. at first, i found the case program more complicated than Elseif programming, but as i got used to it, it was more convenient. On debugging, we learned about 3 types of errors:
logic error, complier error, and run-time error. We also somewhat learned how to fix those three errors. now that we know what these errors mean, that means that i can debug my program if there are any errors without problem. On wednesday, i started on the second question of my case programming, because we had to hand it in by the end of friday. by the end of the day, i had gotten about half finished. on thursday, i finished the question Case off and put it on my usb key. before that, i made sure that i finished it properly, and that the program was working, and ready to be marked. we also had a quiz that day. i thought it was pretty easy. I forgot how to do some parts, but all in all, i think that i passed. on friday, it was the day before march break, so not alot of people came to class. i started and finished my flowchart for the question we had to hand in.

Difficulies:
some of the difficulties i faced during this week is that:
- i didnt fully understand how the Case programming worked, so i asked a couple of people and then they helped me understand better
- i didnt understand what debugging meant as in when the program stopped and told me what was wrong, i had trouble understanding it, so i asked people for help, and they helped me fix the problem, and helped me on figureing out how to do it by myself.
