Today I continued working on the battleship game.
As a side note, I'm changing my study habits to a goal of 4 hours a day, instead of 4.5, because round numbers are more pleasant to work with, lol. I'll probably do an extra .5 today just to end up with a total number of hours that's a whole number. What I like about a 4 hours goal is that if I do a "double" shift on some days, it comes out to the usual 8 hr workday, and if I do a "triple" shift, it comes out to 12 hours, which still leaves time for comfortable meals, a little socializing, and an errand or two. I think it's an overall improvement, the main drawback is that I end up "short" 3.5 hours a week, but as long as I can squeeze in one "double" shift a week, that becomes a non-issue in regards to my goal of 1000 hours by July 29th, 2015.
All right, I have quite a lot of work to do, back to the battleship game!
I was introduced to the do while loop today. It's similar to the do while loop, except that the do while loop always runs at least once, unlike the while loop, which may not run even once if the condition is not met the first time the code is run.
Programmers call the process of improving a program "refactoring." I completed a Treehouse badge today, "Javascript Loops."
