Day 4 completed. Not nearly as lengthy for me as yesterday. I felt like I put too much time into a few things yesterday.

summary: reviewed randomness and pseudorandom number generators, modules, lists

final project was a console rock paper scissors game.

Mine works. As I was writing it I specifically commented that I’m assuming no errors or error handling, as if the input was coming from taps of a touchscreen pad.  Little did I know that she would introduce the concept of error handling in the solution for the project. Fine by me, but I did not rewrite.

I also did not rewrite my prototype in her pattern, although I can see where her pattern would be more easily extended to a RPS type game with an additional n hand positions that were all along a spectrum. I just wrote the logic tests explicitly, no big deal. Could I have rewritten it, yes. As a result of how I formatted my code, I did not really need to use the index to choose what image to print, I just printed it by name. However, I conceded that is more elegant and extensible.

6 tomatoes today when all is said and done, including the obligatory log post.
