Terminology Trivia!
Today's class is a significant lesson in familiarizing ourselves with the terminology used in programming. It is very essential to know these terms on our fingertips as we use them to communicate with other programmers. Some of the vocabulary was a recap from last year such as programmer and source code. We learned new terms such as executable, identifiers, comments and classes. Comments and keywords can be identified easily in a program as they are colour-coded. The lesson was executed with the standard software of Powerpoint which is a useful method in my opinion as it helps students learn better by understanding the key concepts. I learned a lot of new information about classes, objects, constructors and methods. Some people might understand better by comparing it with Turing but I like to stick to Java. I didn't have anything to program so I tried a contest question from DWITE. It was a challenging problem but I was able to solve it!
