Week Ten: Status Report

On Monday, we created a Mini Slide Show in Visual Basic. The slide show was formatted so it would output four cartoon images of the Sun to the user. We also added in a "beep" function, so whenever the user clicks the button to see the different image, the programs beeps. On Tuesday, we had another lesson on Loops; this time it focussed on using the "Exit For" statement.

"Exit For" is a special statement that you can use to terminate the execution for a For ... Next early and move the execution to the first statement after the loop. On Wednesday, we continued to work on creating our programs which executed the "Exit For" statement. On Thursday, we recieved a project about the different types of job you can apply for by being a computer programmer. The mission was to choose six different jobs, and report about each one and their relevance to computer programming. On Friday, I was not in class because I purchased a ticket to a special event which was hosted by the institution.
