Week Three: Status Report

This week started out with warmer weather, which I was quite happy to finally see. Spring is soon, and this Winter feels like it has been too long. Considering the fact that this has been the coldest February in Canada since the 1970's; I am not surprised.

Week three began with a test in Computer Programming. The test covered what we went through with flow charts, problem solving, and our introduction to the world of computers. Following the test, we recieved a flow chart assignment for homework. This small assignment was to create a flow chart so you are able to input three seperate numbers, and output them in ascending order.

After a long wait, our classroom's computers finally became equipped with the Microsoft Visual Basic program. With this application, you are able to write codes for your own programs. An example of this is what we created yesterday. We formatted the codes in attempting to create a cost calculator. This certain calculator calculated the tax rate for the subtotal cost, in order to calculate the total cost.

Today is a scheduled early release day for all the classes, which means class is dismissed at 11:00 a.m. Tomorrow, we will be starting a new assignment. This assignment will focus on writing programs for five problems.

Rocking R.
