We finished our project. We have all of the requirements, the void was easeir than i thought. all irt did was output our directions, but i doesn't return anything. ,so , after the user reads the directions and chooses wether or not otp lya or to quit, the user has to cin an answer. in the code, the cin was outside of the void and was in the main.

Today Mike and I both worked on our project. it's hard without using Loops, and we'd definitely do it our way using ifs and elses rather than loops (which are very hard). Thursday we will work on the project even more.

The former Korean soccer head coach stepped down because he wasn't satisfied with the way they performed. Because of that, Korea had to choose a new head coach; a decision between Former liverpool, France, and Lyon boss Gerard Houllier and Huh, the coach of the current CHunnam Dragons , who got 10th in the K-league. If Korea doesn't get qualified for the world cup, then Huh will probably lose both jobs.

Today we recieved a new project to work on that is due at the end of cloass monday. If anything, the project got me confused more than the precvious ones did. i don't even nkow what to iniput for the function portion fo the code, since te main is already done for us. All the comments, even though they help me, also get me confused.

Today i read about the samsung p2, which is an ipod with touch screen but it's better because i say it is. It can play twice as many wma files as mp3 files, with little sound quality difference. It also does the same for videos, playing twice as many wva files as mp4 files. It has touch screen and is pretty small.

Today we continued working on our Porgram and Problem solving with user- defined functions. I got one step closer to my goal, by making it able to take in all the user's guesses and then implement them. Monday i will do more and this time set the targets for the program. I still need to do the other program (there's 2)

Today we worked on programming and oproblem - solving with user d- defined fucitions. Our new project requires the user to put in some numbers for the distance of a target, angle, etc. He / she gets 5 chances with the computer telling him her how to do better. If he / she doesn't win, he / she loses.

Today we worked on 3 different versions of 1 program and answered questions on it. It was on functions.

4. Are there any specific tips you would give to someone else tackling the same problem?

Use

system("cls");

to clear the screen... the information still stays in the computer. This makes you more organized.

More tips : know when / where to use your commands (in or out the loop).

IM DONE

6. What progress did you make today on your solution? What needs to be completed next class?

Today i did not get to do much on my project on repitition and loops b/c i dodnot know what to do. I do not understand what the loops do and and do not know how to write the code. i need to get help either from the teacher or a friend.

four players had been out drinking in a hostess bar in jakarta until the early hours of the morning of July 14. The same four apparently did the same on the evening of July 16. On the 15th, three of them started an Asian Cup game against Bahrain, one which Korea lost 2-1. On October 30, a Tuesday, the KFA published an official apology on its website after the four players had been named and definitely shamed by an angry media. In a disciplinary hearing on November 2, Lee, like the three others, lost the right to play for the national team for 12 months. As captain, he was banned from KFA-organised tournaments for three years, one more than his drinking buddies.

Mubarak Muhammad Abdullahi, a 24 year old physics undergraduate (nigera), makes helecopters from scrap. A recently created helecopter is powered by a Honda Civic car engine. His parts come from anywhere ranging from his father's donations to scrap aluminum. Although the helecopter is very good and cheap, he said "some basic facilities like devices for measuring atmospheric pressure, altitude, humidity and the like."

As shown recently, a 14 year old boy avoided a grizzly bear attack. In reality though, the Grizzly Bear normally tries to avoid human contact and eats mostly roots, fish, and berries. Scat, digs, and rubs are the most common signs of nearby grizzlies. If you encounter a grizzly, don't run. Instead, act big and avoid looking at it in the eyes.

4. Are there any specific tips you would give to someone else tackling the same problem? How would what you suggest benefit that person in solving the problem?

I would suggest that someone else tackling the same problem should not be used to the basic C++. Instead, he / she should try to work only on what we learned the past few days. Also, the brackets {, } can be very tricky since there are a lot in the new style of code that we learned recently. I also started a new big project, where the user will choose his/her fate (similar to the scary books).

today we learned about if statemtns and else statements. and how to check them. We also had a race in the beginning of class for candy.

Today we did no programming. Instead, we took notes on Bool and did a worksheet on it.
Some examples of it were if "Pet" > "Petr. In this case, it would be no because everything is the same except that "Pet" is shorter than "Petr".

Mohamed and Ahmed Ibrahim of Egypt were seperated (they were conjoined twins). 6 years old, were separated in October 2003. Because they were born joined at the tops of their heads, their surgery took 34 hours. Their doctor said that they will be evaluated be told more about how their brains are functioning. Everyone, including their parents and their 14 year old brother, are happy for their success so far.

4. Are there any specific tips you would give to someone else tackling the same problem? How would what you suggest benefit that person in solving the problem?

A specific tip i would give to someone else tackling the same problem would be to be patient and not use Tab. Patience is important in solving this problem because you have to make similar commands over and over, such as strings, and displaying what the users input. Tab also messes the spacing up and took me a while to undo all the tabs that I used.

Don't get distracted either

Ten or more African Union soldiers in Darfur died over the weekend. About 1,000 rebels from the Sudan Liberation Army attacked them at their base near Haskanita.

Today I read about Ahn Jung Hwan, the "Korean Beckham." Recently, he screamed at a woman at a friendly match between FC Seoul and Suwon Bluewings. http://youtube.com/watch?v=njF4l65xVtY In Korean, the woman yells to Ahn that he is one of those people who "stop the K-league from developing further." This statement is pretty irrational since Ahn played on an Italian club team and scored the goal in WC2002 causing Korea to play in the semi-finals. Ahn was fined $10,000.

Nightmare: a terrifying dream in which the dreamer experiences feelings of helplessness, extreme anxiety, sorrow, etc.

Traumatic events can cause predictable patterns of nightmares:
1) dreams that relive the event
2) relive the emotion using different scenarios
3) dreams that incorporate the event into other parts of life

Nightmares can occer from stressful events, such as :
-surgery
-being left alone
-being dropped
-being hungry

The peak age of crying, the first 6 weeks, is also the peak age of nightmares.

Today we started a new project, asking the user to give their school information (Name, ID, class period, etc) for a "schedule". After the user would input their information, the C++ program would display it.

Progress I made today on my solution :
- discovering that every different subject needed a different string
- finding a simple way to ask the user questions and receive answers

tomorrow I will have to use this information to fill out a full question list for the user and be ready to receive answers and display them (in other words, finish the project).

Today in class we filled out a worksheet that went over things such as how the setprecision command affects a program. Specific tips i would give to someone else would be to pay close attention in class. This would definitely help because Ms. Petr went over almost every single problem (i.e. what the setfill command does).

Today we had to write our initals using *. Thinking too hard is a problem for someone tackling this problem. I would recommend writing the code all in one group, and not seperating each initial. This tip will definitely benefit you in solving this problem.
