Reflection
The project was so much fun, and it became a very enriching learning process for each one of us involved in its making. I managed to internalize very basic notions about programming that were quite useful in software development. I was able to get some knowledge of working with variables to store and manipulate data efficiently. I was also introduced to data abstraction, which helped me deal with complexity, considering the breakdown of the problem into smaller, manageable parts.
Then, I also worked with mathematical expressions to make various calculations and solve some problems that included numerical operations. Finally, strings handling became really handy in working with textual data by allowing manipulation and analysis of the latter in a variety of ways. Understanding booleans was another important part in the learning curve since it gave me the capability of making true/false decisions within my code.
We also did conditionals and nested conditionals, (which me and my group taught) which played a very important role in making programs more dynamic. I embedded iteration-ways of repeating certain actions effectively-with the use of loops; this is quite an important feature when there are lots of repetitive tasks. Lastly, I was introduced to lists, which are powerful data types that helped me in managing and organizing collections of information.
In general, this project greatly increased my knowledge about programming and has given me a solid foundation upon which I can succeed in future programming endeavers.
