This week was "first midterm week." The test threw me off a bit because I was expecting a very similar format to what prof. Downing's S E class's tests. But for this test we had no multiple choice. It was all code and, what was a bit weird for me, writing tests of our code. One of the questions that I am kind of mad at myself because I know I should have known it better than I did during the test was the one about writing the overridden pre increment and post increment functions without making use of the '++'. I just remembered that post increment has to make a copy and it stores before incrementing the variable. Pre increment, increments and then stores. But still, I think I didn't do as hot in that question as I would have liked. We will see how I did on the rest of the test, I'm kind of nervous for getting back my grade.
Other than that, project 3 has been posted already. It is called allocator but Prof. Downing hasn't gotten a chance yet to explain it (probably on Monday). I definitely learned my lesson and I will be working on it with a partner (given that I did last one by myself). Doing pair programming really is much safer and efficient than working by yourself. So far I have enjoyed the class very much. There are so many principles of object oriented programming that you need to put in practice in order to fully understand them. I think this is a great class for that.
