Hmm... Interesting theory... Yes that could make sense...

According to the syllabus, "Students learn about" Data types blah blah blah integer representation in binary, decimal, octal and hexadecimal But that's learn about, not do conversions... And if you did the developers perspective of hardware or whatever it is... Representation of...

http://www.jaworski.com/htmlbook/dec-hex.htm - hexadecimal conversion table... So... 31(hex) = 49(dec) A1(hex) = 161(dec) therefore... the answer should have been 210. Oops :)

I ended up doing the conversion "my own way" (hahaha well...) and ended up with something like 117... I can't remember exactly. It was over 100 anyway. Hmm... Any ideas, someone who actually knows how to do the conversion?

Indeed they shouldn't have. I ended up writing out all of the numbers until I got to 30hex or whatever... Sheesh... It took some brain power, writing those numbers... because I'd forgotten how to do the conversion! I thought it was year 9-10 computing studies stuff... hmm...

I had no idea what assert meant, so I made something else up :) I found the whole evolution part really difficult. Damn you, paradigms!

Oh crap. I thought it was later on when the thing checked to see if the card was there, and then after the IF thing to see if there was a card, there was instructions for what to do. I thought the error was that in even if there was no card, it was doing the instructions for if there was...

I found it really really difficult. Horrible, in fact. Dear lord. I hope it scales like there's no tomorrow! :D

The average for the trial at my school was 45%... going well :) That's a little more happy making though, that the majority of people were in bands 3/4 :) I guess that's to be expected though...

I agree... Ok so I'm f*cked anyway for Software, but that's beside the point :) It does seem to me that a lot of the questions don't really seem to be related to the course, but if you twist them around enough, you can make some sense of them... It'd be nice if they made them more...

I have the Carole Wilson book... Noticed some errors... Don't really use it much, but only because I'm lazy. I also have the Heinemann one, and the Excel one. I guess I mainly use the excel one, but I don't have a reason for doing so. I wish I had the Sam Davis one, sounds like everybody...

I'm aiming for Band 3. I'll be so happy if I get over 60. It turns out that my teacher didn't do the last three chapters, really... Ok so one was mainly the project (which he didn't even give comments for, and as it turns out a lot of my diagrams were COMPLETELY the wrong type of diagram, but...

The average for the SDD trial at my school (which was largely based on the Catholic one) was 45%... I passed though, so phew!

Finished my project yesterday... Thank god! :D Such a relief :)

I have a feeling all of the marks in my school will be nice and low... shall report back when we get them back sometime next week, most likely! I'm suprised the highest marks are (in most cases) so low... It's very comforting and stuff :) Bloody software :)

Our SDD exam is on Tuesday... It'll only be up to chapter 5 because that's all we've done, so we'll have a separate assessment task for the rest of it afterwards or something... Gah! Ew.

Haha that's really weird! :) I go to a girls school :) class of about 15, I guess... out of about 240 year 12's :) There are heaps of girls going IPT (I think 2 or 3 classes) and about another IT class (VET course taught at school for some reason)

Haha that's why I want it too! Well also because I just suck at drawing things, even with a ruler... I have been to Officeworks at both Parramatta and North Ryde, and neither of them had Flowchart Templates. Bugger.

We're up to Chapter 5 now :)

I've now finished my actual program... But it isn't due until the 7th week of term... :) I still have to make up my "process diary" and the rest of the doccumentation... which is basically just printing out my code :)
