Provide yourself an example (not one from your instructor) of how you use a particular command that
will help jog your memory in the future when you need that command again. You must provide a little
code as well as a written explanation with this one.


double x;
double y = math.sqrt(x);
this code will remind me that in order to perform complicated functions on primitive data types i must use a static class.
a static class is called a static class( has static methods)because you dont need
an object instance to call(use) them just its name.
since primitve dont have an object automatically attached to them the static classes must be used.
in order to to math functioons with int and double (primitive types) i must use math.

system.out.println(“All \“ good\” men should come to the aid of their country”);

this code will remind me that i must use an escape sequence ( the \ plus the character) in order to perform certain functions or system.out certain characters such as the " mark because w/o the sequence the " would be read as the othe " needed to end the string.

Scored on 9/23/07. Check edline for grade posting tomorrow evening.

code as well as a written explanation with this one.


System.out.println( " /\\ /\\" );

this is a portion of the symbol animal we worked on in class in order to practice the use of system.out. System.out is the equivalent of cout<< from c++ and by look in at this portion of code, i will remember that.

//building 3-d
marker.up();
marker.move(-100,150);
marker.down();
marker.move(-150,200);
marker.move(-150,50);
marker.move(-100,0);

this bit of code was used to begin adding a 3 dimensional feel to my draw house assignment. It will also remind me that if i want to move without drawing a line i must first pick up the utensil, move it, then put it down.

1. What problems did you encounter while developing your solution? How do you plan to overcome
them?/How did you overcome them?

today i came across an error due to the predisposition of a drawing tool. I learnt that the drawing tool would naturally be facing upwards and to plan accordingly. I also learnt that 90 from facing up is left rather than right so to get to right from up the general turn is 270 degrees.

code:
System.out.print("Hello PBHS");

this code will remind me of our introduction to the eclipse IDE
