Week of Oct 22

This week we learned about for loops and files. The for loops were challenging for me because it took me a while to understand how the code in the parenthases after "for" worked. While loops and for loops are confusing to me. I really like if statements better. We also went over files and had the Alice count lab where we had to go through a text file with the entire story of Alice In Wonderland and we had to see how many times certain letters were written in the story. This took a while because I didn't really understand the code to do this. After talking to some of my peers and getting help from Mr. Stephens about how to do it, I was finally able to understand how the program worked and I finished. We also got files worksheets and scanner worksheets this week. Worksheets are no problem to me, but everytime I have to write code my mind kind of freaks out and it takes me a while to cope what to write. I've started looking at tutorials online and hopefully it will help me understand Java and not get me behind.
