First three weeks in CSC148

It has been about 3 weeks since I took CSC148 course. And I think it would give me a new impression of programming. In first three weeks, the course focused on the class, especially stacks, inheritance and recursion. And we have written the first assignment in this semester.

The first assignment is to design a two-player game named subtract square, and the general game state will be used through the term. I have learned a lot through this assignment.

First of all, the most important thing I learned is that the assignment requirement should be read carefully and every detail should be memorized or recorded. At first, my partners and I didn’t notice that five classes were needed, and we wrote the codes in one class, which was obviously not satisfied the requirement. After asking TAs, we had to rewrite the whole program. Further and more eventually, it is important to indicate what should be ran in every class, and docsting as well as comment must be clearly written. These comments would become essential clue. What’s more, order is important in python, especially ‘or’. If one statement is fail, computer will not evaluate remaining statements. Thus, the order of these ‘or’ statements should be written in the most suitablde order. Finally, debugging is vital. This can help us to find the mistakes we did not pay attention.

Overall, writing a perfect program should think over a lot things. It cannot be completed in few days without careful consideration.
