Hosted by Waterloo is an amazing opportunity to practice your coding skills on unique problem sets. Even though I only was able to participate in the Junior competition due to my inexperience in coding, I was able to make it first place in my school. This is a competition I'd recommend anyone with coding experience to check out!
Nested If statements allowed me to test multiple criteria and increase the number of possible outcomes.
Loops shorten the length of code needed and allowing it to be repeated however many times.
Arrays were used to deal with sequences of objects of the same data type. Making data collection and access easy.
Methods enhance the readability of the code, allow for repeats of certain functions, optimizing time and memory space.
Awarded for my performance and participation in Grade 10 Computer Science Class. From this class, I showcased responsibility and teamwork by handing in my assignments early and being my teacher and classmates' first choice for programming help.
Through Waterloos online I was able to be self-taught in Python and really made my transition into ICS3U smooth. I've gone through every lesson and module from this website which strengthens my skills for programming in Python. I was taught about simple encryption, recursion, and creating efficiencies in my programs.
