#WSQ06 – Greatest Common Divisor

--Originally published at JAVALIO

During this first exercise in programming Cesar Cortez, Andres Choza and me, worked together because we have doubts about how to begin in Java world, after we talk for minutes we decided to start and at the end of the day, all of us knew a little bit more of Java, I have to thank them because with their help I can programming better than before.

Greatest Commmon Divisor is a wsq where we have to find what’s the GCD of a number given, “when at least one of them is not zero, is the largest positive integer that divides the numbers without a remainder. For example, the GCD of 8 and 12 is 4” (Wikipedia,2016)

We use the method where you take both number and begin divide them by 2 then by 3 and go on, until the both of them cannot divide more with a same number, then multiply the numbers that pass and there is the result.

Here’s our code:

My sleep, my WSQs

--Originally published at Social coding

This one was very tricky, for reversing the number I needed to look on the other people code. I found one method that I thought was brilliant.
It was fun making this. I should write more, but I need to sleep.

Will update it with images and a topic later this week.
I will write about business models in the software industry.

(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ Not the table, but the classroom

--Originally published at Social coding

Sometimes people only memorize things for passing the class with a good grade and also there are teachers who doesn’t integrate their students to the class. This leads to the problems of people not always learning in practice what they should, but also I think there should be a balanced.
In my mind, the perfect setting will be a balance between “Flipped classroom” and the typical method. Sometimes I felt lost and without any motivation to post blogs, and I think this is generated because there is no immediate feedback from the instructor and also I miss having work assignments which are thought in the class. And also because we have liberty but in reality it doesn’t exist, we need to follow a path to pass the class.

I am more a believer of having each one a different path with a shared end line.

We could be told to made a project and give the bases of programming in class. But that wouldn’t be sufficient so everyone would be searching for new things in the web. I am not an expert in education and I am not calling this system bad, I like it but my satisfaction is not fulfilled like when doing my other project.
Have some music for finishing this:

Our project will be a labyrinth where you gonna take the place of some man/woman and have escape from a mysterious house, where you woke up, could you do it?, times doesn’t run out at your favor.

#WSQ04 – Flipped Learning

--Originally published at JAVALIO

This new year my teacher Ken Bauer changed again his methods of evaluating, this year Ken is applying an #AbolishGrades system, so I wasn’t expecting something like this, so it took me by surprise, however I feel happy to be involved in something different.

Flipped Learning is about you learn by yourself, and the teacher is there to guide you, if you have any difficult, but this system allow the students to be their own teacher and love learnings.

If you had any doubt I recommend you to see this video, that explains a little bit more about Flipped Learning

#WSQ03 -Object-Oriented Basics

--Originally published at JAVALIO

Object-Oriented Programming is a new thing for me, I was expecting to get the concepts in the first round, however I haven’t learned enough about objects, classes, methods, abstraction, etc. but I think it is just a matter of time, if I keep learning, someday I will master OOP.

Even thought I learned something watching this video:

For example:

There exists static and dynamic languages and differ in when do the language check the type data.

Classes are basically like a data definition.

Objects are instances of the classes

Methods are like the functions of the classes

And polymorphism that is how Java knows what method invokes depending on the object.

I recommend you to watch this video, in order to understand a little bit more about Java stuff

The beginning of a new journey.

--Originally published at Social coding

Every time we begin something great we are always going out in excitement and I have been like this for the last days. I love this system because I can work on whatever I want. This methodology seems very interesting as a way to promote students to do projects.

I will be doing a series of post introducing myself around the topic of programming.

WSQ02 – HelloWorld!

--Originally published at JAVALIO

This time I did my first program in Java language with Eclipse and Geany.

The real deal here is how to run it in Eclipse, I found a very good tutorial in Stackoverflow:
