Java Module 4 - Conditionals and Loops
Read the chapter.
Did the PowerPoint Slides.
Did the Self-Review Questions.
Followed the VideoNotes.
Installed IntelliJ IDEA and uninstalled all the Java extensions in VSCode.
Created a repo for textbook examples. Then I can practice them from anywhere. Just need to install IntelliJ and sync Github account. Then clone the JavaTests repo.
Working on getting the Github Student Developer pack. It’s an automated system that only takes photos taken from a camera, so it’s a PITA.
Got back on the Helsinki Java MOOC. Installed TMCBeans. I’m on Part 1 -> Calculating with numbers -> Simple calculator
Currently on Kjell Part 4: Branches and Loops, chapters 16-25.
Now I’m using TMCBeans for the Helsinki Java MOOC, VSCode for my website, and Intellij IDEA for the TRU course.
Currently working on Exercises for Chapter 16 of Kjell course. Pump the brakes on the MOOC.

Finally got the Github Education application approved. I took a photo of the ‘Application Summary’ page, which is found at mytru.tru.ca under CHECK YOUR APPLICATION STATUS.
09-01-2025 UPDATE
I completed all the exercises in Kjell Chapter 16.
Now I’m starting Chapter 17, The Single Branch if Statement
10-01-2026 UPDATE
I started the first assignment program, the Over-Under number guessing game.
I also uploaded a template for the second assignment program, an odd digit counter.
For now I’ll step back and work through all the examples in the Kjell chapter 16 because it feels like I’m relying too much on other resources.
11-01-2026 UPDATE
Still working through Part 04 of Kjell. Solving the examples really helps my understanding.
