allenyxu2004 commented 2 years ago

Feature	Link
Github/Wiki page	FRQ Run Guide
FRQ Menu	FRQ Menu on deployed site under CB tab
Github Source	Each FRQ has a button to access code display on JS, also accessible on github folder
2 inputs	All FRQs except Unit 9 have inputs

Feature	Evaluation	Score
Github/Wiki page	Allen has his reflections linked within the wiki. He makes it very clear that he understands the purpose of each FRQ and has learned something as a result of doing them. Additionally, he has a "How to Run the FRQs" page, which makes it clear to use.	3/3
FRQ Menu	The FRQs are very well organized. The frontend looks really really nice, and they are very easy to use. Additionally, most FRQs have both the input and the code, making it very easy to view. However, -0.2 because Unit 9 is completed but not running.	2.8/3
Github Source	The code can be clicked on on the website. The code can also be viewed using the controller, making everything very easy to access.	3/3
2 Inputs	Allen has more than enough inputs (all but 1 input), which is much more than the required 2 inputs. He has gone above and beyond the required expectations.	1/1

Allen Reflection

FRQ 4 Comparison
- Flora used static and private variables which helped minimize repetitive code
- Rather than using an imported class, she used the random function to randomize the integer values
FRQ 3 Comparison
- Flora used if statements for each value selected, I used an array list that used the number inputted to find the element on the array, was a bit more efficient
- For her string comparison, she returned booleans since it was terminal based, while I converted to a string to produce an output
FRQ 5 Comparison
- Both used multiple classes to implement the feature
- Flora's was a bit more optimized for the terminal while ours was more optimal for the MVC approach

With the FRQs I was able to develop a much better understanding of how the information gets processed through the controller onto the html template
The FRQs also gave me much practice with variable conversions, as much of the input and output must differ as it goes through the algorithms (string to boolean, integer to string, etc)
I was able to develop more knowledge on how arrays work, especially with using the split function to create new strings, and add elements with array lists
- However, I am still a little rough around the edges with 2d arrays, will likely be where I focus my later learnings on
Another weakness I have is with handling multiple classes. I can sometimes get lost and mess up my formating, which can lead me to spending much too time bug fixing my code
