Introductory Java Language Features:

By Monday (31) 8:00pm in your blog

How did you do on the multiple choice questions?
I did quite well, got about 80% of them correct

Did you understand your errors?
I understood most of my errors but I still have some question I would like to go over in class

What do you not understand?

I did not understand anything regarding the Hexadecimal and binary section, The book only gives a few lines of informations and explanations on this subject and I was unable to understand it whatsoever. I even tried reading the explanations to the multiple choice questions about hexadecimals but they were useless as well. Hopefully we will go over this subject in class and clarify this issue. 

Can you convert between hexadecimal and decimal (and binary)?

Not at all, see answer to previous question.

Sorting and Searching

How did you do on the multiple choice questions?

I did the multiple choice question with Sungho, which was extremley helpful and as a result I did very well on the questions and got almost all of them correct.

Did you understand your errors?

I understood all of my errors thanks to the book explanations and Sungho's explanations. 

What do you not understand?

I am not completely sure about how binary search works

To what extent did you succeed in implementing the sorting and searching algorithm exercises?

A high extent, me and Amit Maor were succesful in implementing almost all of the algorithms in the array exercise that was given.

Recursion and what not..

How did you do on the multiple choice questions?

I got 11 question right and 10 wrong

Did you understand your errors?

I understood most of them, although the explanations in the book aren't helpful enough for me to truly understand my mistake in order to avoid it in the future.
I have written down the question which i did not understand even after reading the explanations in the book and I will go over them during class.
Did you use run-time stacks to understand the progress of the recursion?

Only when I could not figure out the answer right away, I used the stacks in order to calculate the output of the recursive method.

How many codingBat recursion exercises have you done? Have the exercises helped you to understand recursion?

I have done 9 codingBat recursion exercises. The exercises have helped me a lot since i was able to get the idea of basic coding and format of simple recursion methods and qeustions.
What do you not understand?

I am not sure what I do not understand, but I know the type of questions I keep getting wrong and I am planning on going over them with you and my peers so I can truly understand.
