Week 12: CST338 Week 4: Project 1

I worked with Jess Hammond on this assignment. Collaborating with Jess provided valuable insights and different perspectives, which greatly enhanced the quality of our work.

My strategy:

I typically begin by reviewing the prompt and analyzing the provided UML diagram. The diagram serves as a visual representation of the relationships between classes, fields, and methods. I then reread the class descriptions, paying attention to the purpose and data types of each field and method. With a clear understanding of the requirements, I start coding, using the prompt as a roadmap to guide me.

 Jess's strategy: 

"I started with the UML diagram and then moved to reading the whole prompt. Then I went and focused on one method at a time reading the prompt for that method in detail. I only started writing code once I had a general idea of what each method was meant to do."

How would you change your strategy having worked on the assignment?

Having worked on the assignment, I need to spend more time in planning to ensure I have full understanding of the prompt.

According to your classmate(s): how well does your code follow the style guide?

According to Jess, my code followed the style guide well, but there were areas for improvement. He noted that while the code was functional and well-structured, incorporating automated style checks would have made it easier to adhere to the guidelines consistently.
