wrote a program that tells me the address and value stored at an int. and how that int is related to a pointer that is pointing to it.

Learned the value of drawing pictures to go along with the code. Also have been helping Rebecca learn how to navigate around the terminal since she hasn't taken UNIX. (recommended Unix for the beginning mage)

completed the node0 project. tried to do it without drawing a diagram and found it very difficult. after drawing the diagram it became a lot easier because i knew where everything was pointing too.

completed the array to list part of the node 1 project. took awhile and was pretty difficult. got several dozen seg fault errors. after enough time i managed to single out what was causing the problem. the most difficult part was making the nodes and connecting them properly. converting the numbers into the list was a lot easier then making the list itself

Have almost completed the node1 project. should have it done by tonight. helped rebecca work on her node1 project and found a much simpler way to perform the node-app-display2 program.

will be finishing sll0 today. was unable to finish it by Wednesday due to the append function breaking my brain for the day. and on wednesday precalc gives me a headache and makes me useless for the day.

completed SLL1 today. i thought about it over the break, but never bothered to actually do it. had a lot of ideas on how to complete each task so i was able to finish it in about 3 hours. Swap node was significantly more complex then all of the previous functions.

10 30, 2014

completed sll2 and have begun work on dll0. working on copy list. getting a strange seg fault and will be working through that for awhile.

11 6, 2014

completed dll0 and turned it in on time. still having a strange problem with sort/swap. have upgraded to dls0. currently stuck on how to limit the size of the stack.

11 17,2014

completed most of dlq0. have 1 strange error in my cpqueue function. had the same problem with stack but never bothered to look into it because it wasnt a big issue. now having the problem with queue so am looking into it because it must be something buggy with how i code the cpqueue/stack function.

12 2, 2014

completed all of the minor pieces of the eoce. just have to do eoce0 and eoce1 which i don't think will take very long, and after that i plan on doing a fourth rewrite which will consist of rewriting eoce in java for joes class.
