Week Eleven: Status Report

On Monday, we had a lesson on the Time Control function in Visual Basic. This lesson taught us the different settings for the timer; Enable and Interval. After the lesson, we recieved a sheet that gave us a step-by-step on how to create basic digital clock program. After, we began an excerise to create a stop watch. On Tuesday, we presented selections from our report about the different careers we can go into by being in computer programming/science. On Wednesday, we worked on an in class exercise to prepare for our test tomorrow.

On Thursday, our class had the Computer science test. On Friday, we had a lesson on While Loops. The While Loops are used when the number of repetitions is not known before we start the loop. This "While...End While" structure should be used when the user wishes to repeat a set of statements an indefinite number of times; this is as long as a condition remains True. We also began a while loop program which prompts the user for names and displays them one by one in a textbox until the user enters the word "Done". "Done" ends the commands.
