      Just a thought. Perhaps a video showing the key differences that could tell you which prog- language you're looking at so you know what lang to look up to find answers. Thanks.

    Thank you, Mr Spraul, brilliant videos! Perhaps not your desired focus but we need these three important episodes (that explain programming concepts) translated into "child speak" by using the child-friendly, simple examples (like the beakers of water one) and ideally using Scratch programming blocks to demonstrate a solution. This is because I am an ICT savvy parent-volunteer, trying to learn how to code alongside 8 ten year olds in the UK, in our new, free After Schol Code Club. There is going to be a major change in our UK Primary School IT curriculum this September 2014 and inspiring children to problem-solve and direct/control computers is a very important part of that sea-change of thinking. Thanks for considering my request!

    well. don't know how other people mind works, but I found learning a lot easier, if you don't know the problem to just come to blank screen, and write a comment. on what you supposed to do, and how do you think you can anhieve it, and make those tasks simplier, as you talked about in this video, after doing that you feel even more comfortible, because screen isn't blank anymore, of course, it's only a comment and does nothing, but it gives you alot information what you need to to, and comfort feeling, that you wrote something already..

    this is old writer's problem as known as WhitePaperSick, bad authors advise to write anything to break a blocking mind... Good writers says you need to set a goal you want to get at the end, then write a step-by-step plan, then check the plan and determine what information you'll need for every step, and only then you can start your novel. It works in writing, and, I guess, it'll work in coding.

  • @vantonspraul
    @vantonspraul  10 років тому +3

    Sue, I checked out the Code Club website. I'm not sure if I'll be able to help you on this or not, but it sounds like an interesting project and I'm glad to look into helping--shoot me an e-mail with more info about what you had in mind. (You can find my address at www.vantonspraul.com/about).
    On a side note, boy do I miss the days of easy "reply to" in UA-cam comments.

    "Can't use existing string-manipulation functions" Is the split method okay to use, to convert the string to an array.

    • @vantonspraul
      @vantonspraul  8 років тому +2

      Not sure what you mean. What language? If you mean Python's split function, for example, then I would say no. If you wanted to try this in Python you should stick to indexing(e.g., str[i]) and the len function. Same with Java's split function. The problem makes you do the heavy lifting of finding where words begin and end.

    So basically you could follow a TDD approach and you are then more likely to solve the problem, with more simplified solutions ;)

  • @raedkhader6263
    @raedkhader6263 8 років тому +1

    I managed to solve the easy version but I'm yet to find a way around special characters
    //replace "to" in a given string to "2"
    String text = "Sam went to the movies to see the dark knight ";
    String[] array = text.split(" ");
    for(int i=0; i

    • @platin2148
      @platin2148 8 років тому +1

      You have no string libary you have only something like an C array try it out in C and see waht your code would look like there because of taht i think when you begin whit programming dont't use any Std's make your own and learn how to do taht. And after taht he said the text can look like this
      Sam,went to themovies tos ee the dark knight so there is no singel oh i use split because it should find it in any text passage not like you did to split at \s .
