So today I spent way too much time on one program. I certainly learned a great deal. For instance, if you are told to figure a long-distance call in minutes, don't try to be clever and convert the minutes into decimal equivalents. Also, don't trust the text book authors to give you logical sensible information.
I was give this table:
====================================================================
Starting Time of Call Rate Per Minute
====================================================================
00:00-06:59 0.12
07:00-19:00 0.55
19:01-23.59 0.35
====================================================================
It took me a while to figure out what was wrong. It should read:
====================================================================
Starting Time of Call Rate Per Minute
====================================================================
00:00-07:00 0.12
07:00-19:00 0.55
19:00-24:00 0.35
====================================================================
I'm not sure if the mistake was planned or the author/editors just can't tell time. It is conceivable they did it on purpose so when I begain testing the program I would keep coming up 1 or 2 minutes short and I had to figure out why.
I used the new proceedure today while doing this program. I find parts of it very useful, other parts cumbersome. What I used definately helped. I believe the parts I found superfilous will be important later, when I do larger projects.
I had some problems with my spread sheet program. That's part of the reason this one program took me so long.
