computer science 115 intro to java study.com - Zachcleigh - 09-12-2019
had a lot of quizzes for this course completed, so I decided to just go for it.
Mainly wanted to comment on the assignment.
If you have a basic understanding of for, if/else if/else/while loops and arrays, you'll be able to do it easily.
Finished the entire program in a little under an hour while watching Bojack horseman on Netflix lol. I've been programming in java for about 4 years now though.
If anyone has any questions about the assignment feel free to comment on this post and I'll answer when I can. Stackoverflow is another great option if your stuck at any part.

i know a little bit about C programming and i took the C course on study.com and my experience with it was that you couldn't learn C from it but if you knew C it was fine
is that the case here or do you think someone could learn Java from the course?

I am a firm believer that once you learn one computer programming language, picking up others is straight forward. You just have to learn “computer talk.” Everything else will be just slight difference in the way you create variables or the proper syntax for if statements and things of that nature. If you already have a base knowledge in programming languages, this course should not be difficult at all and will provide you with every thing you need to understand basic Java.
For the person that has no programming experience, there is enough info, but you will need to train your brain to think in a different way.
The way I first learned java was every lesson I had, I would open the integrated development environment and write code based on the lesson I just did. This always did a great job of reenforcing the content for me.

I recently completed this thinking it was a pretty easy assignment and was disappointed to get a grade of 76%. I was convinced I was going to ace it.
The part that let me down the most was "coding efficiency" where I scored 10/20 "The code is brute force an unnecessarily long".
I know what this means but I honestly think the my code was pretty efficient. I'd love to get some feedback but unfortunately this is where SDC really falls down. I've emailed them and it seems impossible to get any real feedback on anything.

Shorten it to the best of your ability and swing again.
