"My Computer Science Degree Journey" by Martin

 1. I worked with my team members Joe, Rene, and Krithika. 2. I started the assignment by reading the prompt. Then, I wrote the functions and simplified the ones I understood. If i encountered challenging code, I reread the prompt to understand it better, wrote the code, and kept revising it until it was correct. 3. I noticed that our strategies were similar in starting with the easy code, but they differed in other aspects. For instance, Krithika writes pseudocode first to understand each concept. Joe’s approach was somewhat similar to mine, but he mentioned that the process becomes more challenging as the project grows. Rene's strategy was also similar, but he separated the work into sections to review and complete them. 4. I realized that I should also create pseudocode for larger projects. 5. I noticed, with the help of my teammates, that we all used the same Google Java Style, though some points were likely missed because we learned a similar format. I also didn’t know that In...

 For Parts 1 and 2 of the library project, I received positive feedback. It was mentioned that, to avoid a warning, I can modify my Arraylist to prevent the IDE from flagging it. I was also advised to add comments to make it easier to read and maintain the project in the future. I didn’t struggle too much with the first two parts because Part 1 had a video example, and Part 2 wasn’t too difficult. I feel that I completed Part 2 quickly, which I consider an achievement.

For HW01, I followed the video, but I haven't added the methods to perform the tests yet. After reviewing the prompt, I believe the Guess method will be the hardest. For Week 1, I didn't encounter many difficulties, but unfortunately, when I finished the HW01 CodingBat exercises, I forgot to log in with my account. As a result, all my progress was reset, and I had to redo everything. I've 'learned' to always read the instructions carefully before starting the work. The same issue carried over into HW03 because I didn't read the specifications correctly and added the wrong constructors. However, now that the second week is coming to a close, I think I've finally learned my lesson. Besides those problems, I found the assignment fun to work on, and the quizzes weren't as difficult as I had feared.
