We were told today to make a simple object class. While originally confusing the concepts behind this were later made clear to me. I`m excited for the weekend though as there is much planned for it.

compareTo was the main topic of the day as all of our old integer arrays were now to be transformed into String arrays. Also using a external file as a source we needed to take those numbers and implement them into an array as well.

Apr 6

Mr. Arkin brought up a new type of sort in today`s class the merge sort. It seems like all we are going to be doing for a while is sorting. I made headway on this program in class and solved many little annoying errors that were extremely irritating.

The binary sort class was discussed in the early portion of class today, with work still being completed on the Bubble sort with additions being made to it to make it a better program. This week was great with rugby finally getting into full swing, the game is something that I certainly missed over the winter.

Apr 4

We learned about a new way to sort arrays today called the Bubble sort. In my opinion it looks much easier in comparison to the other way we previously sorted. I finished the majority of this assignment before the end of class and completed the rest at a later time.

I made some more progress today in both understanding the implementation of the searching algorithms and also in completing the code. The party planned for today was  also cancelled due to everyone basically forgetting about it, an excuse I guess may lie in the fact that their was a day off yesterday due to the literacy test.

I missed class today my alarm didn't go off and I slept in...

Mar 29

I missed today's class due to an appointment.

With the gr. 11's being taught a lesson today all I did all period was read and review on I/O code. Little of this is coming back to me as little time was spent on this last year.

Mar 24

I did more work on the array assignments in class today and had some lingering troubles with various parts in my code. At the beginning I had some confusion with what direction to go in, but with some help from people around me I eventually caught up with what was going on. This was mostly a work period with various students holding conferences with Mr. Arkin.

Mar 25

We printed assignments off in class today and looked over them with Mr. Arkin. I had some problems with my for loops and my programs giving me weird run errors. I eventually fixed these. I found the feedback to be useful in some degrees and hope that it will continue as some of the finer elements of java still elude me.

Mar 23

I've made some good progress with catching up in class and finishing more of my work. I believe that i now have a much better understanding of the code. I made more progress on the second and third array assignments and I found them to be understandable. We also discussed for loops in class today and I began to remember some of what little was taught last year.
