It was grueling! Our task was to create a catering system program. My partner, Kristen, and I worked all weekend in addition to the days given.
If you're wondering about the process, it looked a bit like this:
- Thursday: We designed our program, created classes, created the CLI, etc.
- Friday: We realized we were on the wrong track for certain parts and had to redo/remove sections. It was a bit heartbreaking because we had spent hours on them!
- Saturday: We noticed that some of the things we removed needed to be recreated. :( At one point, we realized that even though we were working with money, Big Decimal was complicating things and we needed to change every occurrence of it to double. Around midnight, we decided we were done!
- Sunday: I was playing around with our program and came across a few errors/bizarre returns. We spent a couple of hours fixing them and called it quits.
In the end, I'm so happy we did it. It may not be perfect, but I feel like we made a real program! I know that technically we have written several others throughout the course, but this one is definitely the largest and most complex!
