Just accidentally deleted 400 words of my report 🙃

Note-to-self (PPPAss)

what the fuck is wrong with my code update JTextField okay

updates JLabel ok if the update is done before the processing if process first, static update values don't work

processes are fine (system out println produces expected results at the right place) but JLabel doesn't update

repaint() and revalidate() don't help

ugh

An update (8/6/18)

On dear ol’ me 

I took an ENTIRE YEAR away form coding because I went to study Cookery of all things (not my choice) but I re-started my 1st year of polytechnic in July ‘17. Been attending a regular tertiary course again for close to a year now (thank god) and I suppose I should’ve restarted this huh 

Bachelor of Computing Systems. It’s more practical focused than the old Bachelor of Science in IT I did in early ‘16. Our first semester I breezed through the Python programming, but learned some stuff for Operating System Fundamentals and Hardware Fundamentals. I don’t think those are the fields for me, though.  (The Professional IT Skills course is a joke, though) 

Second semester, I’m taking my finals in 2 weeks. I studies Java for Programming Principles and Practices, SQL in Database Fundamentals, and suffered in Networking Fundamentals.  (Information Systems Concepts is an even bigger joke) 

Currently working on my Java assignment, which is what reminded me about this journal thing. I took to Python really easy, but for some reason it’s not converting well to Java. Think I’m getting the hang of it, but all these errors are going to rise up against me one day and stab me in my sleep.

oh my god comsci assignment 3 is really hard 

[yunilocke]

Hmm skipped class today because I had a job with the talent agency. Today was really fun there but I can't post the details online fhsjdjjd (but I'll be skipping next Tuesday as well because I got a recurring role!! V cool) But there apparently aren't any math108 lectures this week?? For some reason At least for comsci we know because there's a test on Thursday so that's why there aren't any classes this week No idea what's going on for maths But Chinese semester written test was this evening as well, and I think I did ok (Surprisingly got 19.75/20 for the oral test, hah)

oh for that comsci assignment, if you straight away pressed option 5 (end the quiz) you get a divide by zero error  i would want to put the whole program in a loop so that it re-runs when that happens, but we can’t edit the main() function so i added this: 

def display_result(total, correct): if total == 0: print("You answered 0 questions. Please re-evaluate your life.") else: score = round(correct / total * 100, 2) print("You answered", total, "questions with", correct, "correct.") print("Your score is ", score, "%. Thank you.", sep = "")

[yunilocke]

Comsci101 Assignment 2

This program generates questions and calculates your total score based on how many you answered correctly

import random def display_intro(): print("*" * 24) print("** A Simple Math Quiz **") print("*" * 24) def display_menu(): print("1. Addition") print("2. Subtraction") print("3. Multiplication") print("4. Integer Division") print("5. Exit") def display_separator(): print("-" * 24) def get_user_input(): index = int(input("Enter your choice: ")) while index > 5 or index < 1: print("Invalid menu option.") index = int(input("Please try again: ")) return index def get_user_solution(problem): user_solution = int(input(problem)) return user_solution def check_solution(user_solution, solution, count): if user_solution == solution: count = count + 1 print("Correct.") else: print("Incorrect.") return count def menu_option(index, count): number1 = random.randint(1,21) number2 = random.randint(1,21) correct = 0 if index == 1: problem = str(number1) + " + " + str(number2) + " = " solution = number1 + number2 user_solution = get_user_solution(problem) correct += check_solution(user_solution, solution, count) elif index == 2: problem = str(number1) + " - " + str(number2) + " = " solution = number1 - number2 user_solution = get_user_solution(problem) correct += check_solution(user_solution, solution, count) elif index == 3: problem = str(number1) + " * " + str(number2) + " = " solution = number1 * number2 user_solution = get_user_solution(problem) correct += check_solution(user_solution, solution, count) elif index == 4: problem = str(number1) + " // " + str(number2) + " = " solution = number1 // number2 user_solution = get_user_solution(problem) correct += check_solution(user_solution, solution, count) return correct def display_result(total, correct): score = round(correct / total * 100, 2) print("You answered", total, "questions with", correct, "correct.") print("Your score is ", score, "%. Thank you.", sep = "") def main(): display_intro() display_menu() display_separator() option = get_user_input() total = 0 correct = 0 while option != 5: total = total + 1 correct = menu_option(option, correct) option = get_user_input() print("Exit the quiz.") display_separator() display_result(total, correct) main()

pls stab me i forgot all about this  it’s study break week and all i’ve done so far was to make up my chinese vocab booklet. just finished the comsci assignment like right now and i’m figuring out how to post it 

We’re going to Taopo this weekend soooo rip studying i gotta get everything done by tmr was messing around with html coding for my Deviantart’s journals today, but no dice on figuring out how to make the box code? I swear I saw it once but I can’t find it again... but for future reference, http://hilite.me/ is really nice

I’m a shit who forgot to update yesterday and skipped school today (because sick)

class summary 4/4/16:  Comsci101: elifs, while loops explanation Math190: power sets and russel paradox

[yunilocke]

Plans for this week: Mon: sch finishes late - go through Comsci lectures Tue: clean house + comsci ass2 Wed: storyboarding for club's project Thu: sch finishes v late no time Fri: continue math108 notes

[yunilocke]

Math108 Part 1: Functions and Limits notes 44 pages condensed into 4 (Ofc this is all personally customized to include stuff that's new to me and excluding stuff I'm already familiar with) (God the scanner is so bad but it's mostly because of the shit lighting)

[yunilocke]

Actually we'd already learned a little Python in our foundation course last year. Buuut we're still doing Python in UoA. A friend we met yesterday who ended up going to Massey U and is learning C told us that it was exactly like Python, so that was reassuring.

To-Do 2/4/16

god i just realised that my computer date display is still mm/dd/yyyy

- ComSci101 Assignment 2 - Math108 Quiz 2  - Chinese100 Homework Chp 5 

- Watch CS Lecture Recordings  - Write Math108 Personal Notes - Write Math190 Personal Notes  - Change the date thing...  - I still need to update to windows 10 hahah kill me

Testing testing...  So uncle suggested that I create a blog titling all the stuff I’ve learned about coding so that employers might find me more attractive in the future.  Well atm I know jack shit about what I’m doing so here is something for me to get used to the aspect of blogging more than actually putting together a portfolio. Tumblr is the blogging site I’m most familiar with and since I don’t know much about coding now I’ll just port over to a better (and hopefully more professional) blog in the future.  Uncle said just stuff about Computer Science but I think I’ll dump everything here...  I’m a first year student at the University of Auckland, trying to complete a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. I’m an international student, paying a fuck-tonne of money to the school just to stay here, so I’m taking four courses this 6-month semester and another 4 starting in July.  Actually starting this blog a bit late because classes started at the end of February hah  Chose CS because it’s an in-demand job that would hopefully not be oversaturated by the time I graduate. a.k.a. mother and brother ‘suggested’ it (it was either this or food science) even though I wanted to study more about physics. I honestly don’t know much about computers (kill me by talking about hardware all I know is that Razer is good) or even much about coding apart from some python...  Praying and hoping to god that no one I know personally finds this blog. Should probably set it to private, but eh I’m narcissistic like that.  So I’m taking:  -ComSci101 (basics...)  -Maths108 (another ‘requirement’)  -Maths190 (probobaly a mistake)  -Chinese100 (definitely a mistake but mum said to so what can you do)  Personal goals of a sort:  -After every lesson write and post a short lesson summary  -Anything I learn online also goes here -Parts of assignments I’m proud of?  -When I rewrite notes (my personal way of studying), upload here  That's all I can think about at the moment (god I use that phrase a lot)  Well  Hello World, I’m Locke. Nice to meet you.
