This week’s material is pretty easy to learn. My learning strategy stayed the same from last week; read the reading material, look at the optional video lectures, answer the discussion question, program the programming assignment, take the self-quiz, etc. …

I appreciate learning about the for … each loop. I’m plenty familiar with the for loop, which iterates for a set number of loops, uses initialization, a continue condition, and updating at the top of its block; but, the for … each control structure is a alternative to for.

The for .. each loop control structure does not have as complicated continue conditions, and iterates the length of the data structure. I want to master the for .. each loop because it processes a data structure better …show more content…
I’ll keep looking for other students to post their discussion assignment, as I need to assess three student discussion posts.

This week, I feel it will be helpful to master the for .. each, while, and do … while control structures. Often, I use the for loop, and select case / switch, but the other loops escape my programming toolbox.

This week, I learned how to program with while, do … while, and for … each. These three control structures help complete processing tasks without programming a set number of iterations, or until a boolean condition is met(or not met).

Control structures that iterate a set number of times can miss processing the entirety of a data structure. Often, I use the for loop. I am very familiar with the for loop, but I want to use the other control structures more. I enjoyed learning other methods this week.

This week, the for … each loop caused me to wonder. I like thinking about putting a data structure into the top of a for … each loop, and letting the computer decide how many processing iterations to make. In my opinion, this avoids mistakes counting how many iterations to
