So far in this course, we have been
exploring object oriented programming in Python. Object oriented programming, unlike
procedural programming; it focuses on creation of an object and its data and
functionality. Class will be a method to show object oriented
programming.
Week 1 of CSC148, we looked at class turtle
and class point to come to a closer understanding to object oriented programming.
I found it challenging to turn a question into a program. However, through
multiple examples over the weeks, I gradually started to come to understanding.
Even though it is hard to say I am comfortable with it; however, more practice,
I think I will gradually become comfortable solving problem for object oriented
programming. The first tutorial was challenging because I found the instruction
not clear and detailed enough. It only showed the functionality of the program and
my partner and I were confused on where to start. I personally think that
tutorial should be more of an exercise of the methods we learn in class. The
first tutorial felt like assignment I received in previous course, CSC108.
The second week we learned the common ADTs
such as lists, stacks, and dictionary. Week 2 and 3, we explored through class
Stack. I felt a little bit lost during this week; however, I felt like it got
cleared up during the second lab. I found the second lab really helpful, as I
found it a chance to master class Stack. The second lab was much easier
compared to the first lab. My partner and I had excellent brainstorming to solve problems and I found the challenge enjoyable.
This is the first slog entry and I am still inexperienced. It will be great if you can leave a feedback!
