Managing 4 at a time!

audience reaction *HUH? Managing 4 what? 4 apples? 4 computers? 4 continents? *
Ok, the last one is kind of impossible! Four continents; I may not be a fortune teller, but I know enough to say that I will never be able to manage 4 continents at once.

However what I can do, is managing 4 papers at a time.

You see, today in class we used a very simple and easy way of learning. We had one page to write down some basic and general notes. The other threee pages we used to execute or trace the program. It was very interesting and benifitted me a great deal. One page was titles "Code", the other "Memory(RAM)" while the last one was "Run Window." We imitated or acted as the computer for a day. Mr. Arkin wrote a sample program, from which we worked on. We picked apart the code one line by one line. On our memory page, we put the data that we stored under the variable. We saw where the data was stored and how it was used in the program when needed. On the code page, we wrote the sample program, while on the run window page, we wrote down what we would see if we actually ran the program. It was a good learning experience.

We also learned two new keywords today: true and false. It's true, I'm not lying. Ok that was cheesy....incorporating the keyword into a sentence. They come under the datatype called boolean, named after the famous Dr. George Boole. I suppose it took a lot of time, hard-work and effort for him to be famous. We also learned about arithmetic and relational operators. Our homework today is to, as usual, complete our daily blog (which I am doing like a responsible person), and make two programs that incorporate arithmetic and relational operators. I am also going to start a few of my selection questions to get over with them (not in a bad way of course!)

Overall, today was a very good day, although I felt blue and melancholy all day long, and I learned a lot.
