In which we learn how to desk check

Oh, phew, I thought I forgot to write a blog entry on Friday. *wipes sweat off forehead*
Now that my fears are calmed...

We might actually get to go to Anime North!!!

*fangirls*
Let me have a moment to celebrate.

Okay! Back to computer science. Today we learnt how to "desk check" our programs. In other words, we would put ourselves in the place of the computer and do whatever it would do. (If you want a fancier explanation: "We are tracing the execution of the program") Although it's a pain to do, I think it pays off in the end. If, for example, you have no idea why Turing finds an error, you could do this yourself and it'll probably solve the problem. Useful, ne?

On another note, I finished the Table Programs quite quickly. They weren't that hard to do! Now, I have to preview "Selection". Heh...programming is fun!

Tomorrow, I'll be away for another X-Country meet. This time it's the Metros! I can't wait! Of course, I don't expect to make it to OFSAA. I barely made it to the Metros, anyways. Well, I'm off! I still have to email quite a few people, and I haven't even started any of my other homework! *cries*

Ja ne, and see you all on Wednesday!

P.S. Yes, Zarin, I'll use "in which" for a very long time. Karin influence! Go read Chibi Vampire, and you'll understand.
