love BUG...

oh well.. probably, most of the persons who will attempt to take a glance in my world will think that this posts is about LOVE.LOVE.LOVE (as what the title have said) but sad to say, (if that's your thought) your wrong.

we, the seniors batch of NCSHS for school year 2008-2009 is on the twilight of our stay in the school that served as our second home for the last 3-4 years. well, many mistakes have been made and glad to say, many lessons have been learned.


now, the topic for this post is really about the VB EXperience that i have had during this senior year of mine. the VB experience covers all of the things about the Visual Basic (the focus of our lessons in technology and livelihood economics IV for the last gradings) from the success in executing a program to the bug that threatened my high school life =].

Let's start with the hard times first and foremost. My VB experience is quite a not-so-lucky experience especially during the first weeks of the discussions of the lessons because i was out of the class during the start of the lesson for some excuse. i have had trouble finding my partners (who turned out to be mac-mac queng and christian oliva) but then when our partnership faced again another problem, it's about the PC. at one point in our VB EXperience life, we have one hard time looking for our PC or for a vacant PC. whoah! at first, it seems that someone whom i don't know is trying to block our way to our graduation [ joke! :) ] but luckily everything turned out just soo well.

Moving on with the hard times. i can say that the VB EXperience is not complete without meeting the [love] BUGS that one can encounter while preparing the program. Bugs after hours of thinking of what codes to type, designing forms, screening commands, double checking the codes and all of the processes needed, its too frustrating to know that a BUG crossed your way! My experience with bugs is not soo much compared to others but let me share it anyway. Actually, i consider myself lucky for i have only encountered less bug or error as compared to my other classmates. maybe the reason behind was by being too careful and also by asking my partners if what i am doing is correct or not. The [love] BUGS that came across the screen while i am doing the projects and the things that i have done to resolved the error or bug are the following:


RUN-TIME ERROR '13': TYPE MISMATCH

i encountered this one during the Message and Input Boxes. Run-Time Error '13' Type Mismatch occurs when one is using a wrong data type like for example writing a string into a variable which is declared as an integer. i have resolved this bug through checking/re-checking the codes and correcting the wrongly declared variable.


COMPILE ERROR - BLOCK IF WITHOUT END IF [the picture is just a sample. the true screen was not screen shot during the time of the activity]

well, as what i have searched from the net. Compile Error-Block If Without End happens when there are not enough End Ifs for the Ifs statements. I have experienced this kind of bug when i was busy doing the math operators, the second activity for the TLE Project and going back to it, i can say that CARELESSNESS is the root of the bug.

hmm. i think and if i can remember it right, that's it for the times i consider as hard for my VB EXperience. now going for the good times, i can say that every time for the whole VB EXperience was quite a good time. VB EXperience is all about HARDWORK, PATIENCE, PERSEVERANCE and all other scientific, moral, spiritual traits that one can possess. i can say now that i may and i might forget all about what i have got and learned from the lessons in Visual Basic during my senior year as time goes by, but the values i have learned from the entire experience, it's just PRICELESS.

until next time VB! :)
