SOFT6008 Class 08.1 & 08.2 A

Attendance in class was good today, but I was disappointed to learn that many students are only starting work on the assignment now.

I had to leave early to be in place for an exam with another class.

SOFT6007 JavaScript re-cap

If you missed the classes on JavaScript last week, this video might go some way to filling in the gaps in your knowledge. (If you're in a hurry skip to 19:00)

SOFT6007 Classes 07.2 & 07.3 & 07.4

Students worked on the assignment.

I saw little evidence that students who missed the classes on JavaScript last week had adressed the gaps in their knowledge in the meantime.

SOFT6008 Classes 07.2 & 07.3 B

Students worked on coding checksums. 

Attendance was poor

SOFT6008 Class 07.4

We looked at some more checksum calculations for user inout validation and I talked a bit about how one might code them.


When discussing the PPSN I drew students' attention to the relationship between the loop counter (n) and the multiplier.

n	multiplier
0	8
1	7
2	6
3	5
4	4
5	3
6	2

The multiplier is 8-n


When discussing the henkilötunnus I wasn't clear on whether the start of the list of check letters was considered 0 or 1. It's 0. So 311280-999J is a valid henkilötunnus.
I have updated the slides so this is clearer.
