CS371p Fall 2020: Amit Samuel

What did you do this past week?

This past week I just worked tirelessly of so many projects. I have multiple things due for each class due on Nov. 4th. So on election night I’ll be working to meet all these due dates.

What’s in your way?

In my way is simply all the tasks I need to complete, I have no time to relax and there are many small things I need to finish to get to the big things. I have to keep chugging along to finish them.

What will you do next week?

Next week I will finish all my projects and hopfully have a few days to relax before work picks up again. It would be nice to catch up on some sleep. I will also help the mentees in my pod prepare for their 312 exam.

If you read it, what did you think of The Interface Segregation Principle?

I did read it and I thought it was a very insightful article and I learned even more about Object Oriented Design and how to avoid common pitfalls.

What was your experience of continuing to implement std::vector? (this question will vary, week to week

I found it very useful to implement std::vector. There are so many funtionalities about many methods and constructors that I was confused about. It was never obvious as to way the “=” operator can be used for construction. That is now obvious to me.

What made you happy this week?

This week was mine and my girlfriend’s 4 year anniversary. It was nice to celebrate that with her, albeit through our phones and in different states. It was also her birthday, so it was nice to wish her.

What’s your pick-of-the-week or tip-of-the-week?

My pick of the week are code editors. For these labs and many other labs, I like to use jetbrains products, but I also like to use editors like atom and vs code. These are very useful becasue they provide you with functionalities like a builtin terminal that forks your computers cmd and configures it to fit in the code editors UI. These have been really useful in quickly developing code.
