CSUMB Week 11 (26 March 2025 - 1 April 2025)

With whom did you work?
I worked with Brandon and Valentina

What was your strategy for solving the assignments?
I actually copy and pasted the document directions as a note into my IDE and followed/solved line by line. This actually helped me a lot.

Did you start writing the code right away? Did you plan it out on paper?
I originally started writing right away but then got lost. So eventually I transitioned into paper planning (mapping out the UML and which methods are calling which) mid-way which helped to ground me on where to begin and where to go. 

What was THEIR strategy for solving the assignments
Well, I think Brandon just straight dived into the assignment and began coding right away. He solved as he went along. Valentina on the other hand was incredibly meticulous and essentially wrote out which methods may seem easy or hard and what was required for each before beginning.

How would you change your strategy?
I would go right to UML mapping to create a visual flow map for myself. This would have caused less confusion when I get lost mid-way through coding.

According to your classmate, did your code follow the Google JAVA style?
Yes, they believed I did.

Did you know you can automate applying some of the style guide rulesLinks to an external site?
I did not know that. I'll look up on that.

What was the most challenging part?
Keeping myself not lost among all the methods. I guess it was having the bigger picture in mind that was challenging.

What was the most interesting?
Well, I did enjoy the more compartmentalized approach to how JAVA should be utilized (as it should be) compared to what a beginner would do which is coding everything onto a single main class. 

What are you most proud of?
Similar to what I wrote for last week, it is not finishing the assignment that made me feel proud but rather what I learned from others that made me realize what I can tweak and change in my code. That's what usually gives me a feeling that I am improving.

How did you celebrate completing the assignment?
I went to the zoo with my girlfriend.
