Week 5

    Something new I learned during this week learning how to get that recursive insight for Tower of Hanoi example. In my opinion, all of this weeks lecture from the beginning to the end was extremely complex, and I had to get home and review the slides on multiple occasions to full absorb all of the material. Now that I've review over my notes after the lecture, I feel very comfortable with the material. Due to this, I am going to implement this study method for the rest of the year. No matter how much I understood or don't understand the lecture, the first thing I'm going to do when I come home is review the slides as it can only make me a better student and broaden my horizons. 

 

Week 4

    Something new I learned during this week was being introduced to a recursive formula. In addition, I really enjoyed both of this weeks lectures particularity being intrigued by tracing to understand recursion. Nothing really challenged or frustrated me this week and thus as a result I am very confident in my abilities pertaining to the concepts in the lecture. My main achievement this week was the fact that Lab #3 was the first lab so far in which I fully understood how to do everything from the very beginning to the very end, and am very happy to see this progress.

Week 3

    Object oriented programming is creating a program that can use objects. These objects are instances of a class already created. These objects can be customized through the use of variables and/or properties. The purpose of object oriented programming is to allow programs to contain many objects and/ or instances of a class, making tasks much easier and simpler  as opposed to a program containing a bunch of isolated functions. So far I understand all of the concepts already taught regarding object oriented programming and am very intrigued by all of its practical uses in the real world, that I will eventually use once I enter the workforce.
