CST438 Week 5 Learning Journal

 This week we focused on building out the front end of our application. One thing I learned this week is that I feel like I am more interested in front end development. Last weeks iteration was somewhat challenging and abstract to me because, it was just information. This week doing React I felt I understood it more, and could see how my code directly translates to the look and feel of our application. I also found it easier to troubleshoot because I could change a line of code and see how it affected the design. Overall a good week of learning how to develop a larger software application.

CST 370 Week 4 Journal

 This week primarily consisted of the Mid term which encompassed the first three weeks of learning. So far, this class has been challenging, but I am beginning to grasp some of the main concepts. I find that doing a daily review of the materials I have learned helps me to feel a little more confident that I understand. I feel that the main ideas have been computing the time complexity of the algorithm and getting familiar with some established algorithms for solving common problems. I will continue to study the new material and review previous materials to continue to improve.

Week 5 Learning Journal

Part One:  Supporting and Commenting on Teammate's Goals I visited the following teammate's blogs and commented on their goals. Juan's Blog Vance's Blog Part Two: Possible Capstone Ideas The three ideas I have for my capstone project are two different mobile apps and one indie game. For the two apps I am thinking of creating something in Swift, the programming language of iOS. The first app is a passion project that involves a list builder for a miniature tabletop game called OnePageRules. It is an independent miniature game ruleset and already has a web version. My app would take that template and adapt it for iOS. The second app would be a simple star wars app that utilizes an online API for Star Wars call SWAPI. This API has a number of entries related to the Star Wars universe in JSON format. My app would connect to this online API, download specific pieces of data and display them in the app.  The third idea would be to create a simple side scroller game. The game ...

Leetcode Practice Reflection 1.Two Sum

LeetCode Practice Reflection - 1. Two Sum Date:   19MAY25 What I Worked on Today: Practiced doing LeetCode Problem 1.Two Sum. What I Learned: - How to use the enumerate() function - How to optimize possible solutions after considering brute force methods - How to declare a new dictionary (key value pair) Code Snippet I Wrote or Studied: class Solution(object): def twoSum(self, nums, target): seen = {} for i, num in enumerate(nums): compliement = target - num if compliment in seen: return [seen[compliment], i] seen[num] = i In My Own Words: This function takes in a list of numbers and will return the index of the two numbers that add up to the provided target value. The way this program works is that it creates a dictionary called "seen". It will then iterate through the list of numbers and use the enumerate function to keep track of the index and the value of the specific item in the provided list. The for loop will calculate the compliment numbe...
