What did you do this past week?
This past week my partner and I finished the Voting project, and it went very well. We had past all the HackerRank tests and our own acceptance tests, but then we ran into a hiccup when creating our unit tests. The test kept coming up with the wrong answer when testing the voting_eval function, and we spent an hour or so looking for the problem. Turns out, since we were using a global variable to set the total number of ballots, that variable was not being set in that function. It was pretty frustrating, but it is just another example of how global variables can cause problems. Outside of this class I went to see Cirque Du Soleil Crystal with my girlfriend for Valentine’s day. Their shows are always fantastic. I also revamped my resume and applied for about 10 different internships.

What did you do this past week?
This past week I started on the Voting project for this course. It seems to be going very smoothly so far and I believe that my partner and I can finish it by Monday night. Other than that, I spent a lot of time working on a steganography project for my Introduction to Computer Security course. I enjoy working on projects in that class because there aren’t many strict requirements. She basically says to implement something but puts no restrictions on what language to use or how to actually go about accomplishing the task. Over this weekend I went rock climbing, went to a friend’s house warming party, and had dinner with my Dad. My Dad gave me some great news about the Apogee internship I applied for. One of his friends is good friends with the CEO of the company, so my application is going to have a recommendation from the CEO. It doesn’t guarantee that I will get accepted, but obviously that gives me a huge boost.

What did you do this past week?
This past week I started and finished the Collatz project. This project took much longer than anticipated. All of my logic seemed fine, but I was still failing the last HackerRank test. I spent so much time looking for the problem, but then I realized I was making a huge mistake. I hadn’t created or ran any acceptance tests. As soon as I did I saw some incorrect cases and was able to trace the problem and fix the code. Outside of class I attended the Engineering Expo and found some companies that I can apply to for a summer internship.
