JavaScript vs Java Pass by Value and Reference

Different Languages, Different ParadigmsWhen you are working with different languages at the same time, it is important to note that while most languages are based on C, each langauge has its own set of rules and paradigms associated with it that makes similar conventions different. Java and JavaScript, while having

Hacking with Java Algorithms

So I have been pretty knee deep in algorithms and Java lately. Coming from Free Code Camp last spring, I have found that I’m finally understanding the methods, algorithms, etc, that I am currently working on in class. One of the best parts about CS0401 is Tim Hoffman, the

On My First 100% on a Java Program

Got a 100/100 on my first Intermediate Java Program. I have been working really hard at being consistent in my life: consistent bedtimes, consistent night time medication times, consistent hygiene times (you’d be surprised at how weird my hygiene patterns were when I had that breakdown this time

Breaking Things

This semester, this whole year even, has seen a dramatic increase in productivity and a conscious effort for self-care– making necessary doctors appointments, going to bed around 9 or 10 and getting up at 8 or 9 am. Taking care of myself helps me think clearer, helps me get more

Mrs. Warren’s ProfessionWhat a whirlwind of emotion for me this semester. I really don’t know how I did everything I did this semester. I went to class, mostly (Chinese Thought got old for me and when my Computer Science professor called off I would just stay home. Sometimes

When working with opening text files, writing text to those text files, and then reading the text back into

Fifth Week of Class and Makin’ Text Files

So this is my fifth week at the University of Pittsburgh, in their CGS program, self-directed study. CGS stands for College of General Studies. I knew I’d have an easier time getting in there and working my way to The Dietrich School of Arts & Sciences Computer Science program.

First Java Program and My Side Project

My First Java ProgramI breezed through my first Java project with relative ease and little help. I can thank the year of struggling with things like Python and JavaScript for that level of comfort. I did need help with Operator Precedence and I probably will still need help with it
