Today i read from Sports Illustrated.com. The NBA season has finally started so I can read that instead of football. Gilbert Arenas is horrible and I think that the Wizards should trade him quick. He thinks he is the best but really he is just horrible. IF he was good then the wizards wouldn't be losing.

What problems did you have creating your solution?
One of the problems i had was using the static. Its kinda hard to know where to put and and things like that.

Provide yourself an example of code to jog your memory?
Yo ucan use static instead of dim while programming. The book says it works better but i dont see a difference.
This is how you would use it in the code.
i think it keeps the number of times you push a button

Static intSecretNumber as Integer = int(50*Rnd()) + 1

What progress did you make on your solution?
Today i finished step 4. Didnt really get it and i dont think it works but had to go on to Step 5.
Next class i need to finish Step 5. Step 5 hopefully wont be as hard as Step 4 or else it will take forever.

What progress did you make on your solution?
Today I tried to finish step 4. Number 10 is really hard and is taking a long time. You need to write code for every button and get the variables and all that. I didnt finish and tommorow I need to finish question 10.

Describe some examples when you would use random numbers?
You could use Random numbers to play games like to roll a dice. Could help you study when doing random math problems. They could also be used to create Screen Savers on your computer.

Provide yourself of an example of a code?

You can use nested if...then...else statements to help you while you are programming.
If intGuess = intSn Then 'Correct
Me.lblMessage.Text = "YOU GUESSED IT"
Else
If intGuess < intSn Then
Me.lblMessage.Text = "Too Low" 'too low
Else
Me.lblMessage.Text = "Too High" 'too high
End If
Then it will display different things

I read from Nick' Kurt Warner book All Things Possible which he wrote by himself. I just started so it talked about how he won the Superbowl against the Titans and was the MVP. Kurt grew up in a divorved family and was kinda poor. He talked about how his life was like when he was a kid. That was as far as I got.

Provide yourself with a example to jog your memory?
All the less than and those signs can help you when writing your code.


Operator Meaning
= Equal to
< Less than
<= Less than or equal to
> Greater than
>= Greater than or equal to
<> Not equal to


this is how it should look in code


If intGrade >= 70 Then
Me.lblgoodjob.Text = "GOOD JOB"

Provide yourself with an example of a command
I learned today how to use the \ so that when I divide the computer will round the number to the nearest whole number. So when you divide by something that won't dvide equally to get an answer. So 36 \ 7 will equal 7.

how did you go about testing your solution? What were the results?
To test my program i would run it to see if there were any errors. If there were then I would look at the code and see if anything i may have done wrong. If there is then i would fix it and continue. After testing it the program worked after a few times of testing and changing.

What progress did you make on your solution?
Today I worked on the exercises and tried to finish. Right now I am on 4 out of 9 and have 5 more to go. Tommrow I need to keep working to finish. Each of them gets a little harder and more complicated so I need to keep trying.

Today I read from Sports Illustrated.com about football. I read about all the games over the weekend in college football and in the NFL. To my delight I read about how the ravens lost to the browns and how college football is very unexpected and anything can happen during games

Provide your self with a code to help jog your memory?
Int is for numbers
Dec is for decimals like GPA
Str is for words
Char is for letters
Bln is for true or falsse
Dbl is large numbers that have decimals
sng is one number

What progress did i make?
Today i answered the questions that were in the book. They are pretty tough and hard to understand but if you look they are all in the book. Next class I need to keep doing my questions and finsih sometime soon. I was shortening the labels when time ran out so need to do that.

Well pretty much like i always do i went to Sports Illustrated.com and read about football and other sports. I read how the Eagles killed the Lions and how Mccnabb is still good. I read of how the Redskins lost and wasted a 1 hour and a half of my day yesterday. In college football West Virginia needs to keep doing good and kill all teams with patrick white and steve slaton.

Are there any specific tips you would give to some one tackling the same problem?
if i were to tell someone some tips i would say to use copy and paste. Since in the smiley problem all of them were repetetive and all you had to do was change a few things. It was a lot faster and easier to do and thats why you should use copy and paste.

What progress did you make on your solution?
I started the Smiley project which was hard to do. Next class i need to finish it and firgure out how to get it to work. I also finished my excercises.

Today I read about sports at spots illustrated.com. I read mostly about football. I read about the different teams and how the games went yesterday. I read how the Chargers lost and many other things. I learned that you can never be sure who is going to win games since the Browns beat Cinncinati.

Score thru 9/14 4/4

What progress did you make on your solution? What needs to be completed next class?
Today I continued to work on my excercises and I am now at number 8 . Now I only have 2 more to go. They keep on getting harder.

How did go about testing my program? What were the results?
To try and see if my code worked I ran. If it didnt work then I would look back in the book to see if I wrote the code wrong. When i wrote the right code i could get different labels show different things

Scored through 9/10. (10/2 pts)

On monday I read about sports on the Sports Illustrated Website. I learned that the NBA ref is going to have a divorce, the Ravens game, and how team USA got killed in soccer by Brazil. It was pretty fun time getting caught up in sports.

What Progress did you make today? What needs to be completed next class?
Today I tried to creat the different exercises. I found it hard to make it exit. I only got to exercise 3 so next class i should try to finish all of them. It is important to read your book to find out how to do the codes and things.

H ow did you go about testing your program? What was the result of testing?

After we made the code we tested it by pushing the green button to run it to see if it worked. The result was sometimes it work and if it didnt then I would try to fix it. Visual Basic seems pretty easy because they tell you what you did wrong so you can fix it yourself.

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

If you are trying out a thing on the toolbox you can remember that most of the properties are the same. Like font and back image all of them do the same thing so you can learn from that.

Thanks! You succeeded in adding me!

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

I tried to find out how to use visual basic by putting buttons and checkboxes on it and playing with the properties.
I tried to find ou what each property did and then wrote the ones that did something. I remeber that i took a little course in the summer so I kind of remeber it. Tommorow I need to try out all of the things on and trying the rest of the property.
