What did you do this past week?
In the past week, I got a lot of work done on the Voting project mostly getting the basic implementation and input and output. I also had a Network Security project due on Monday which took up a lot of time throughout the week. I attended lectures and learned a bunch about pointers and addresses that I had previously thought I knew. Finally, I did a lot of competitive programming practice during my free time which definitely gave me a headache.
What’s in your way?
Getting a more optimal solution has been a hassle for me since I keep on getting errors. I haven’t been able to pinpoint where exactly its throwing errors, but I should be able to figure it out within a couple of days. Nothing else has been too bad though since I got the Network Security project all figured out on Friday.
What will you do next week?
During this upcoming week, I’ll be finishing up the Voting project and submitting it on time. I also have a couple of midterms coming up which I definitely need to study for since I haven’t really been paying attention in those classes. Lastly, I’ll just be attending classes as usual and hopefully paying more attention to them.
What was your experience of values, addresses, references and consts? (this question will vary, week to week)
In the past, I haven’t looked too in-depth into addresses and references since I don’t really use C++ as a programming language. The most I’ve learned about them were when I was in OS and the projects required us to utilize pointer arithmetic. As for values and consts, I’ve been using them for basically the entirety of my coding career, but during the lectures I learned quite a bit of stuff I did not previously know.
What made you happy this week?
I went to Clark’s Oyster Bar with my girlfriend and had so really great seafood. I would highly recommend going there for a fancy seafood dinner as the oysters were some of the best I’ve ever had. I also recommend getting the mussels and clams in white wine and herbs as the mussels were some of the juiciest mussels I’ve ever had.
What’s your pick-of-the-week or tip-of-the-week?
My tip-of-the-week would definitely be to not procrastinate on projects. Over this past week I have been really lazy in doing work and pushing everything off. It gradually accumulated and I had a lot of work to do on Friday which was definitely not a fun experience.
