End of Programming Assignment 1! - Learning Experiences and splitting of workload

This basically marks the end of our first programming assignment. Initially when I received this assignment brief, I was quite panic as I am still not familiar with Python (GUI) script. I not sure how to start with the assignment and was still rather quite new to this software. However, with the help of our classmates and my partner, Emily, we managed to complete the assignment within the deadline. I am also glad that in every programming lesson, our teacher will provide us with the information we need to complete our assignment and help us. The time given to us was also rather sufficient for us to complete our assignment in time. Through this assignment, I learned how to create a script tool in a very systematic and orderly way. I've also learned how to use different functions such as the 'def' whereby it's used commonly to define a particular word in the script. Similarly, I've learned how to use the 'if' and 'else' functions correctly. We must use 'print' to allow the words or sentences we want to appear in the final script. I've also learned how to store the values we wanted in the script using the raw_input. I think that when doing this quiz tool, we really have to be careful of the words that we typed as it really make a vast difference if we are lack of a capital letter in one of the word or lack of that particular alphabet. It would affect the whole script operating system. Sometimes, it is also quite difficult to spot the error in a glance. We got to re-look again and again to pin down the error and correct it. So basically, this script is done by Emily and I together where we will think and type together. Some part of the mistakes solving part, we would split the workload and research for the correct way to solve it. We will then combine the solutions and substitute into the script to make the script run smoothly. It was really a great experience exploring Python (GUI) software.
