What did you do this past week? This past week, my teammate and I implemented the initial Darwin algorithm. We implemented the core algorithm but had some complications with vector resizing invalidating pointers and inefficiencies comparing strings, which we dealt with throughout the way. Initially, we did not consider the problem of pushing back a Creature object…

What did you do this past week? This past week, I prepared for the exams by doing the in-class exercises. I felt confident going into the exam because I’ve developed some good C++ experience through other courses with Professor Downing and Professor Gheith. …

What did you do this past week? This past week, my teammate and I finished the Allocator project. We developed a working Allocator implementation. We submitted the Allocator to HackerRank and passed all the tests. We developed unit tests and acceptance tests for the Allocator. We handled the logistical items for the project, including opening and closing…

What did you do this past week? Early last week, we finished the Voting project. The final things we had to do were resolve a minor bug in our code that was leading to test failures. The bug was not part of the core algorithm, so it took us a bit to recognize the mistake we made…

What did you do this past week? This past week, I partnered up with an old friend who’s taking the class. We initially took some time to determine when we want to meet, and we put some times on our schedules. We set up the repository for the project by adapting the code from the Collatz project…

What did you do this past week? Coming into this week, I had already finished the implementation of Collatz. Hence, I did not devote a significant amount of time to this course. Instead, I placed my focus on getting started on my other classes to build a good foundation in those classes. …

What did you do this past week? This past week, I finished the Collatz project. I opened issues, implemented a solution with caching, and submitted my solution to HackerRank. I’ve taken two classes with Professor Downing before, so this project is quite familiar. What’s in your way? Nothing is in the way. If I want to make something up that’s in…

What high school did you go to? I went to Gilbert High School, which is famously known as the greatest school in all of Iowa. What was your favorite extracurricular activity in high school? Baseball was my thing. I dabbled in many other sports and hobbies, but I took baseball seriously. …

What did you do this past week? This past week, I worked on the Integer project with Andrew. We got an early start and made some good progress before the exam. We used the project as a way to do more C++ programming and study for the exam. Early in the week, I also reworked the in-class…
