What did you do this past week? — I worked on the fifth and final project of the semester, Life, last week, as well as attended Dr. Downing and Kevin’s office hours for additional assistance and clarification towards the project and its overall design. …

What did you do this past week? — I took the two midterms that were scheduled for this week by Downing and performed decently. Sure, I may have missed a couple of test cases, but the generous collaboration averaging for our scores helped buffer us. Also, I started the Allocator project with Stephen, and have made significant progress…

What did you do this past week? — I attended Dr. Downing’s lectures and learned a good amount about memory and memory leaks. He taught a great deal about pointer transparency when passed through a method, pointer vs. reference. What’s in your way? I still have not started the assignment with Steven yet, project Allocator. Furthermore, I still have not begun studying…

What did you do this past week? — I attended lectures and paid attention. Also, Roger and I finished up project voting and submitted it on time. What’s in your way? Hackerrank coding assessments for companies. What will you do next week? I will most likely start the third project with Steven in the coming week, while simultaneously start reviewing for the midterm exam for this class. If you read it, what did you think of Why Is Silicon Valley So Awful to Women?

What did you do this past week? — I attended lectures and learned about pointers/references, their various interactions with the const keyword, and different tidbits and trivia, as well as good general practices when coding, that involve those two concepts. I also attended the simplified virtual career fair as much as I could. …

What did you do this past week? — I learned about exceptions, and how they are essentially objects and obey the laws of inheritance, strcmp, and how C++ represents the default string type as a “c string” and otherwise represents them as char arrays (pointers) and also voting. To be honest, I didn’t really understand what Australian voting…

What did you do this past week? — This past week I started on the Collatz conjecture project. Thankfully, I have done a variant of this project in previous classes I have taken with Dr. Downing, so I have a relatively strong foundation of knowledge to draw from. If worst comes to worst, I know I can always…

Where did you grow up? — I was born and raised in Houston, Texas. What high school did you attend? I attended Seven Lakes High School in Katy, Texas. What was your favorite extracurricular activity in high school? Our orchestra program was my favorite extracurricular that I was a part of. …

How well do you think the course conveyed those takeaways? — I think Dr. Downing did an excellent job at conveying those principles as methods of good and efficient C++ coding to our class. …
