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

IM DONE! IM HAPPY! YES!
using if - else statements will make your life easier ; it cut down about half the work for me in that section.

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

Today i finished the 1st big section, and part of the 2nd big section
tomorrow i will have to finish the project

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? ALIGN YOUR BRACKETS. this screwed me up over and over and delayed my progress. This would help because you would be more organized and would be more "in control" of your code. LABEL YOUR BRACKETS LABEL THEM OR YOU'LL SUFFER

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."

Today I started some code; i finished two out of a LOT of possibilities. On monday, I will try to finish some more possibilities.

Today in class i planned for my selection project. I made it funny and good. Tomorow I will have to start ssome code. there's a lot of choices.

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.

6. What progress did you make today on your solution? What needs to be completed next class?
Today I tried using the If and else statements. On monday i will have to complete a portion of the project. We also took a quiz today on code.

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.

Scored through 10/5. Check edline on Monday evening for grade.

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

Today I worked on the mini projects project. Today I completed number 7. Tomorow I'll try to do as many problems as I can; I think I will be close to done by tomorow.

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. The attack took place during the same same weekend that Sudan allowed in a group of international elders. Some of these people included South African Achbishop Desmond Tutu as well as Jimmy Carter.
