Module 5 - 338

I worked with Rene, Krithika and Joseph on this assignment.

For this assignment, I decided to start well in advance of the due date. I began by reading the prompt before starting the work. When writing the code, I started with the smallest function, as well as the first one required to make the others work. Finally, the last method I implemented was addFromFile. This strategy gave me plenty of time to check for errors.

The strategy my classmates used was for all of us to read the prompt before starting. Joseph decided to follow the methods in order, but if a method required another to function, he adjusted the sequence. Krithika began with the easiest method first and focused on the one necessary to make other methods work. Similarly, Rene referred to past discussions to identify the easiest methods to start with.

I believe my strategy worked well for this assignment because it was not too complicated. I only struggled with one method because I didn’t fully understand that part of the prompt, but I received help from the TA to clarify it. Overall, I don’t think I needed to change anything about this strategy.

My classmates considered my code to be well-structured and compliant with the Google Java Style Guide. I already know that some style guide rules can be automated, but I forgot to use this option for the assignment.
