As Salamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh World!
Okay, I believe I left off at last Thursday if memory
serves. At this point, My programming part of my assignment should have been
completed but alas, the reality was far from it. The thing about programming
is, you never really know how much progress you’ve made.
With writing
assignments on the other hand, you can. Usually, there’s a word count which you have to meet so you
can simply measure how much you’ve got left to do by working out how many words
are left. Simples.
With coding, you can’t simply count the lines of code and
equate that to progress.
For all you know, the program might not even work as
intended or even worse, it may not compile at all.
Even with regular testing,
you still can’t measure progress since you may need to change or refactor code
in your assignment later on anyway. I know the same can apply for writing, but changing words in
a Word document is infinitely easier than changing even a single character in a
program.
Anyways, I did end up finishing my assignment by Sunday (which is when
the deadline was) but I definitely could have saved myself a lot of had a
started earlier.
Hope this helps!
