TIK weekly report 6

On Monday, we had a lesson on types of data, or "datatypes". Datatypes are things you write to show what symbol or word represents the variable. For example, integer, single, string, etc... We also started working on a new program, in which we have to make a scroll bar go leftwards if the temperature is cold, and rightwards if the temperature is warm. it also converts the fahrenheit to a celsius. Some problems I had encountered that day was that I didn't first fully understand what we had to make our program do, so I had a bit of a trouble. I solved my problem by asking others for help.

On Tuesday, we continued working on our visual basics programs. I finished the program almost half way through our class, so I started working on the Practise Excercise we had to do after we were finished with our first programs. We basically had to add a bar, and makes it so that when we move the bar, the temperature rises and then does the same thing with the second bar as it did with the first program. I didn't encounter any problems that day.

On Wednesday, our teacher wasn't here so, we worked on a different, writing assignment. We had to read a sheet called the Internt Safety Pledge, and I personally think that the Internet Safety Pledge is useless, and is not necessary, because no child, in their right mind, would follow the Internet Safety Pledge. We had to write a minimum of 3 paragraphs response on what we know about internet safety. Some difficulties i encountered that day is that I didn't know what to write about at first, but I got the ideas and finished the work on time.

On Thursday, we got a package with a bunch of types of string that we had to write out what each of them did, so it took the whole period. After that, we started working on a program that does at least 10 of those functions. Some problems I encountered that day was that I didn't understand how to set up the program, so it was hard for me to start. I solved the problem by asking people for help

On Friday, we continued working on those programs. At first, I finished setting up the program so that I can start writing it, but it was hard because I didn't know what to do. In the end, I figured out how to write the program, but because it was so late, I couldn't finish the program completely.
