It was hard but I did ok, how odd an entire exam and I didn't use one IF statement.

*prepares to get flamed*

It was pretty easy :p Easier than I expected.

I used an If block in the first 23 mark one, and then a For...Next statement in the second one. I dunno what was expected of the design on the sheet though, I just wrote crappy psuedocode.

Anyone know when it'll be marked by?

Hehe. If you looked at the textbook under the For...Next examples, you'll find that one of the examples (the population increasing thing) is done very similarly to how you would do the inflation.

I didn't bother with For Next.

I just did

Do While counter < years
total = (total * 1.05)
counter += 1
Loop

Actually no. I've never done programming anywhere else besides in this course/subject.

I just did a few examples here and there in the textbook and made sure I understood why that happens when you do this, and stuff like that. It's really easy once you get the hang of it.

I was kind of dreading today (I wasn't confident at all), but I was relatively happy after the exam. Anyway, if I did programming before, I would have tried that exam that gives you an exemption.

You should know I hadn't touched real programming until a few weeks ago.

Looks like you guys did alright and knew what you were doing! That's good to hear.

The lab should be marked by the end of week 8 hopefully.
