June 8

The work I accomplished this week was the write the program I was responsible for in the final in-class examination. The program I had to do was the Number of Days program, or challenge number 9. In that program, you enter two dates and the program will determine the number of days in between. There was also a bonus option, which I completed, and it took into account leap years. I also documented the program, both internally and externally.

I have no work left to do besides for studying for the final test. I can also review on how my group mate's programs function so for our evaluation Monday I know what their programs do.

The major problems that I encountered in this were getting month days to add up correctly, and getting the leap year function to work properly. I solved the month total issue by changing the way my program goes about calculating the difference, so they add up to 2 total, and are subtracted from one another. I solved the leap year problem by using embedded loops and If...Else statements.
