Question Mania

Just another challenging day,

Today I arrived later than usual as I had some issues but nonetheless, I rushed and made it to the center with an empty stomach filled with determination to ask "Jovial John" every curious questions I developed last night. We started the day by practicing coding, our mission was to create a program that asks the user to input five people's names and scores, and then outputting it. "Jovial John" gave us a hint about the 'array' function. It acts somewhat like object orientated programming as you can save many individual variables under the same variable (like class/object - parents/child). At the start, I didn't know this function existed therefore I took the long run and asked the user for the name and scores individually over many repetitive times. However, at the end of the starter task, "Jovial John" showed us a simpler version by showing Alex S's example. However, I gave "Jovial John" credits as this is his initial idea, as seen below.

Afterwards, "Jovial John" revealed his caring personality, which told us to save many code examples so we could re-use it in the future. This has beneficially helped me 100% as it would definitely be needed. This also benefits all of the student as this will allow us to identify things we don't know how to use/do. A big thumbs up to you, "Jovial John!". Furthermore, after we had done the task, we continued to try and finish our specifications. Moreover, during this very fine day. I asked "Jovial John" all of the questions I was curious about last night, as I am a very specific person, I believe this had made "Jovial John" very tired. I shall repay him by doing my best within the course/unit and prove to him that I was listening to the best of my abilities. The reason for asking many questions was because I would like nothing to stop me from completing a single piece of task. Additionally, it is also the half term, therefore I would like to take this opportunity to ask anything necessary.

Next, "Jovial John" moved onto explaining to us in detail of A3T1 and A3T2. Things he mentioned which tripped many of us including myself are pseudocodes and flowcharts. I once again got confused as my brain switches off mid-day through Friday. However, I forced my brain power to continue a little extra more and asked "Jovial John" even more questions (sorry John!) =(

However, this had led to me needing to know everything. With all the information in my head, I will work and get the important parts done as soon as possible so I will not forget.

I hope everyone has a nice half-term, especially "Jovial John" for dealing with my questions everyday. Thanks for everything. I shall go home and re-charge my body energy via sleep. Bye!

P.S: I haven't written much today because "ain't nobody got time fo' dat, it's a fridayz".
