Test Back + New Complex Stuff
Hey guys!
First thing's first. I got my new test back! Yay! I got a really good mark (the highest in the class), and I now have the highest average :D! I was waiting for this day, I knew it would come, and oh it feels so sweet.
Anyways, onto the new information.
For the last few days we've been learning about calls, which allow you to call code into a different part of the program. This allows your program to be much shorter, and was exampled with a song, with each chorus being called, helping you by not having to write it each and every time. It's a cool feature in VB, that I'm sure I'll use very often in the future.
Today we learned about application paths, which allow you to use information on other documents (mainly notepad, or maybe even only notepad [not sure]) and implement it into the program. This allows people, who aren't advanced with programming, to be able to simply edit the notepad document, while the program does all the work in re-arranging, formatting, and doing calculations with the info. It's pretty cool stuff.
