Provide yourself an example (not one from your instructor) of how you use a particular command that
will help jog your memory in the future when you need that command again. You must provide a little
code as well as a written explanation with this one. Using the for method you can create a loop .But you have to be carefull with the loops because you can create an inifinite loop which is the worst thing you can do.

Are there any specific tips you would give to someone else tackling the same problem? How would what you suggest benefit that person in solving the problem? The tip I would give to someone else tackling the same problem I do is ask for help if you completely dont understand. There are many times in this class where I am completely lost. So I usually ask help from a friend, a classmate or the teacher. This would benefit you because now you know how to fix the problem if it appears later.

What choices did you face in developing your solution, and how did you choose among them? The choices i had to face in developing my solutions would be writing the right code in my java program on the exercise 3 lesson. I would have to ethier choose if i need to use length(); or toLowerCase; or toUpperCase; which all have different functions. length(); takes a certain ammount of letters out of your string depending on where you tell it to start. toLowerCase, allows you to put all the letters in your string into lower case. toUpperCase, allows you to pull all the letters into UpperCase.

Provide yourself an example (not one from your instructor) of how you use a particular command that
will help jog your memory in the future when you need that command again. You must provide a little
code as well as a written explanation with this one.

The System.out.println(); task allows you to draw or type things in the java application. I can remember this, because when I hear print I think of writing and printing a paper or drawing a picture. System.out.println basically lets you do this it allows you to create a document or text image and upload it onto java. for example with system.out.println I made a snake today in class (with text art of course).

4. Are there any specific tips you would give to someone else tackling the same problem? How would
what you suggest benefit that person in solving the problem?A tip I would give is when writing your code try using marker.move commands when you are typing the code. This helps to make drawling lines quicker and faster instead of using the marker.forward commands and the marker.turn(left or right) commands. This will benefit you because it makes code quicker and easier. It aslo gives you time to do other codes that need to be finished in class.

How did you go about testing your program? What were the results of that testing?
I tested the program by right clicking the program clicking Run As, and then Java Application. In doing this I could see the out come of my program. I could also see if I needed corrections. If corrections were needed I would go back rewrite parts of the programs and test once again in the Java Application.
