Class on Thursday was helpful for understanding the switches. I was confused about them but now I understand them. The if else statements remind me a lot of Matlab. The are used exactly the same way just typed in a tad different. The printf was the same too. It was the only way to print out that I new in Matlab. It makes me like the regular print and how you can just type in the variable name to get that value to show. The Matlab we did in my Engineering class last semester was very helpful so far in this class. It's just learning the different names of things but the concepts are similar. I like that because I was afraid I wasn't going to know how to do anything. I am enjoying doing Java so far!
