Group Project

So on Friday we got a work period to work on group assignment. My partner for the group assignment is Ralph. Our problem is a case. We are given bones with certain formulas. Over the week we've been running into problems until i came up with an idea but once again my idea was flawwed because it was more complicated and Mr. Chiarelli gave us the idea to put everything into one form. We started over again now were on track with out project.

Call Ups

On Wednesday in class we learned about this thing called call ups. When writing a program instead of repeating the same thing and typing over and over again you do a call up. A call up allows you to use one line w/o having to do more than one extra line. Call-ups are useful in songs, math, etc. Also on thursday sir showed us that whatever we write in notepad we can import into vb by making a new command. This is useful when you are doing calcualtions.

Flow Chart

I was away on Monday so I missed the lesson on flow charts. On the following Tuesday Mr.Chiarelli taught us the difference between event and general procedures. He showed us one of his demos and he showed us how to make the program work. After we had finish doing the demo we copied out the program. After that we had to complete a flow chart on which we drew from the board when we were discussing one of the problems. I was able to finish the flow chart but I had a hard time finding the diamond shapes.
