Stop Hitting Yourself, Stop Hitting Yourself

This week in Comp Sci was a momentus occasion: the introduction of the "while" loop. It lets you do things ad infinitum, except you only want to do it to a certain constraint. Infinite loops scare me though. Honestly, it makes me feel claustrophobic from my chair, because the finality of it being infinite feels like there is no escape. I guess that with time and a little help from jGrasp I'll get over it, but right now that seems like a scary thing to me. The only upside is that I still haven't written one! Ha! Hahahahahahaha! It's only a matter of time though...

int x=0;

while (int x==0){
    System.out.println("I will not write infinite loops");
}

Else if this Else that

So this week in Comp SCIENCE was spent learning about if and else statement, and boy was it fun. With the introduction of boolean statements comes the logic aspect of the class, and now I feel like these programs have a practical application more than straightforward motion. I can't wait to start legit stuff, like making robots and stuff! This really excites me, and I feel like this is the part of the class in which I can really shine. I'm a good chocolate maker, B!$N!7CH

Wait What? Acorn Schism?

This post is more of an aphorism, or whatever that word is, cause I didn't study for the English quiz today. Anyways, it's a general statement expressing an overarching truth. YOU NEED TO STUDY. There. That's it. I really feel like I should have studied for the Comp Sci exam more than anything. Chars are confusing, and I got pretty much every char question wrong on the exam. There were even questions that I got right that I wasn't sure of. It was not fun to stare at the screen and know that I would never in all the time left in the universe figure this out. So, in closing, there are a lot of things in life, a lot of stuff to learn. It's nice to go back and relearn them before you're tested, because you'll be surprised when you see:

char z = 74;

System.out.println(z+3);

and can't remember if that's the letter or the ASCII number. And you thought yourself perfect...
