CS371P Spring 2021: Week 3

What did you do this past week?

In the last week, I almost finished my first project of CS 371 and most of my project 0 of CS 439. I feel like the pair assignment of 439 is not as bad as I thought, on the contrary, I learned a lot from my teammates and make us more efficient. Cannot wait for the pair object of CS371.

What’s in your way?

The big things in my way are time, time, and time. I took OS, Object-Oriented Programming, Compliers, and Theory of Interest this semester. No matter how I adjust my schedule, I still feel like I do not have enough time. I was so exhausted in the past week.

What will you do next week?

In the next week, I will push myself to do the best I can to follow the schedule of each class, even I feel so tired. Changes always go beyond plans. In the last bog, I said I would watch the super bowl this week, but it does not look like that is going to happen.

If you read it, what did you think of the Continuous Integration?

The Continuous Integration is a good article. It tells me what the differences between the project in the real world and the school projects are. It also gives me a picture of how the internship is going to be. The most important thing that makes me so happy is that what we learn from this class is so close to real life.

What was your experience of Collatz?

I like the Collatz project. The code seems very easy, but when I optimized my solution, all the problems come up. There are too many ways to approaches it. This is the reason why I like this project. It also teaches me a lesson, no matter how easy the code looks like, start it early as I can.

What was your experience of exceptions?

I do not have too much experience of exceptions before this class. From the class on Friday, I knew the benefits of exceptions and how to use exceptions. The exception is a good tool to test the bug of my code.

What made you happy this week?

The thing that makes me happy this week is that I follow most of my schedule even I felt so tired. Will push me in the future.

What’s your pick-of-the-week or tip-of-the-week?

Get enough sleep is the tip of the week for me. If you are tied and have trouble with question, trust me, no matter how long you spend, it will not work out. Take a break, you may solve the question after you come back.
