Problem-solving

Blocked by a simple problem.

I realized that whether there is a space or not ( for example (“”) and (“ “) ) is a huge difference in Javascript. I sometimes make typos and it leads to some problems with my code. I have to be more careful of small mistakes


Elegantly solved a problem.

I have done the "Variables and objects" and the "Manipulating Objects" from Kata earlier than the timebox. Else…….
JS is still hard for me! I can’t say I am having fun through the sprint 4. I hope I can enjoy and solve issues in the near future….🥹


Reflect on how confident you feel using each of these problem-solving

Confident : YES ◎ / Kind of…◯ / no….△


Pseudocode

Pseudocode helps me with a strategy of how to code and make my ideas clear. I just started it in the late stages, so I should try it more often for further challenges.

Trying something

I am using this method most of the time unfortunately it doesn’t go well most of time (😭)
◎(however results △)

Rubber ducky method

I used this method especially for the loop which I am still confused about how to use. I don’t use this method much at the moment.

Reading error messages

I fixed some issues by using this method. However, I'm not very confident about reading them.

Console.logging

When I am not confident in what I code I use this method. It helps me because it shows the result immediately and I am able to know where the issue is in my code. However I am still struggling to use the console.log I will practice more.

Googling

When I face the issue I always google, but I sometimes can not find what I want to know. I also searched on Youtube.

Asking your peers for help

I have not asked my peers much but I am sure they are always willing to help others!

Asking coaches for help

My partner is my coach / mentor so far. I ask him for advice / feedback on my code quite often.

Improving your process with reflection

I usually look back to what I did the week or last week. That sometimes helps me with new ideas of code. Reflection is really useful for better understanding. I will practice using LeetCode this weekend.
