The last two weeks went by super quick, and I’m definitely going to enjoy taking a break. Looking back, despite the fast pace, I feel like I became more familiar with Java and I’m glad to have gotten some practice with android studio.
Looking back at the first large assignment we did, the biggest thing I would do differently is change how I was formatting the console display. I didn’t know this at the time, but I had some weird setting turned on in IntelliJ that made it so that the text in my console output was not wrapping around new lines properly. This led to more frustration than there should have been.
Two things that I’m glad to have worked through are the Markov chain assignment, as well the group project.
The Markov chain assignment wasn’t particularly complicated, but getting things to work properly was a little tedious. Watching the sentences output correctly (despite the nonsense) was pretty satisfying.
