 Week 13 (4/2-4/8)

Markov

With whom did you work? Wootark Kim and Michael Sorensen 

What was your strategy for solving the Markov assignment? Did you start writing code right away? Did you plan it out on paper?

I read the prompting a few times and analyzed the logic data structures and line-by-line implementing methods. I did not start writing code right away. I used sticky notes for methods() names, types, and access modifiers. I read the prompt first, then looked at the UML piece by piece and had it on the side to keep looking at it for the access, types, and names of the methods. I started writing fields, autogenerated constructors, and setters/getters and started working on the most challenging methods first and left the easiest ones to the end.

What was their strategy for solving the Markov assignment? It seemed like they also followed the instructions line by line and added internal comments to their methods to help them not get lost. One teammate followed the lecture/lab video, and the other, with more experience, did it by just reading the prompt and UML.

How would you change your strategy having worked on the assignment? Maybe work on the easiest methods first and then the most challenging ones to the end. It gives room for improvement early on and the ability to leave the frustration to the end and not the beginning.

According to your classmate(s): how well does your code follow the Google Java Style Guide? When I showed them my classes, I didn't have the Javadoc fully developed, so they suggested that I finish the documentation before the submission.

Did you know you can automate applying some of the style guide rules? I learned that while working on this assignment.
