How did you go about testing your program? What were the results of that testing?

The way I went about testing my program was by the Select..Case Is statement instead of the Select..Case statement which allowed me to put ranges instead of the commas. When your able to do this this lets you list a wider range of numbers. The results were that the formed worked correctly

What progress did you make today on your solution? What needs to be completed next class?

The progress I made on my solution was that I stopped all the build errors and corrected the variables the solution is now finished. Next class I have to complete these steps in the textbook.
Provide yourself an example (not one from your instructor) of how you use a particular command thatwill help jog your memory in the future when you need that command again. You must provide a littlecode as well as a written explanation with this one.

A particular command that I use for the joke application was the end command. This command tells the form that you want it to close when you click the button. Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Close() End SubEnd Class. This code represents the way to close a program.
Are there any specific tips you would give to someone else tackling the same problem? How wouldwhat you suggest benefit that person in solving the problem?

That you should make sure your variables match the name and text that you gave them in the form. What I would suggest would benefit a person with this problem because this is frequent error that people have all the time with a form.
How did you go about testing your program? What were the results of that testing?

The way I tested the program was by pressing play to see if the form would work but the form said that it had build errors. The results were pretty bad on the joke application.
What choices did you face in developing your solution, and how did you choose among them?
The choice that I faced in developing my solution was which jokes i was going to put in my form. The way I chose them was by choosing the best ones that were the most appealing. It was very hard to choose from so many.
What problems did you encounter while developing your solution? How do you plan to overcomethem?/How did you overcome them?
Today when I did my joke project it was hard to matchup the joke with the puchline. the way I planned to overcome the problem is by switching the variables so that they match the names in the form. I overcame this problem by finally finding out that i neede to put quotation marks around the punchline and joke.

How did you go about testing your program? What were the results of that testing?
The new program I learned about was the nested if..then..elself stament which allows you to list more options in your form. I went about testing it by going in the vb program and doing a "guessing number application". the results of that testing was that I could use more choices.

What progress did you make today on your solution? What needs to be completed next class?
Today in class I made progress with the If...Then statement. It much easier than I thought it would have been. The next class I need to finish an exercise 1 which allows you to use the If...Then statement to its entirety.

A particular command I used today was (Mod) it is a division command that leaves the remainder. It is very good to use when you need to get the value and the value of coins.

Today I read the book "Mama Day" which is a very good book. So far I have read about all the characters such as Sapphira Wade which is the main character in the beginning. When the book starts it talks about Sapphira Wade and her background and the way she died.

What problems did you encounter while developing your solution? How do you plan to overcomethem?/How did you overcome them?

the first problem that I encountered while doing my solution was gettiong to use the right variable. I kept having syntax errors because i would put the variable in the wrong spot. I overcam this problem by learning how to properly place the right variable with the right values as in the form.
