Computer Science and Databases made engaging and supportive

Vasundhra tutored Ryan on Java linked lists, covering both custom implementations and the built-in `LinkedList` class, including various methods for manipulating lists. Ryan practiced using these methods with a string-based exercise and received help debugging errors. Ryan will find past exam papers for their next session.

Vasundhra and Purple Coffin Man worked on debugging a dynamic Tic-Tac-Toe game with configurable board sizes, focusing on reading configurations from a file, handling different symbols, and making specific squares uninteractable. They resolved null pointer exceptions and inheritance issues. The next step is to allow players to customize the board's width and height, to be continued in the next session.

Vasundhra tutored Vinay on Java methods, covering method creation, parameters, return types, and the importance of calling methods from the main method. Vinay practiced creating methods to join strings and add integers, correcting syntax errors with Vasundhra's guidance. Vasundhra assigned practice questions and planned to cover 'if and else' statements in the next session.

Vasundhra and Darren worked on a Java programming exercise where Darren implemented a word frequency analyzer using hashmaps and file I/O. Darren debugged an array index error with Vasundhra's guidance. Vasundhra will provide Darren with updated notes on hashmaps and hashtables, and they plan to cover a new topic in the next session.

In a Wiingy session, Vasundhra helps Purple Coffin Man debug his Java board game. They focus on implementing dynamic board configuration by reading board layouts from a file and allowing users to input the number of players via a text field on the landing screen. They troubleshoot runtime errors related to data types, null values, and passing the user-entered player count to the game controller. Due to time constraints, debugging is postponed to the next session.

Vasundhra Verma and Ryan Fletcher discussed binary search tree deletion and hash tables. Ryan practiced using hash table methods, including creating a hash table with integer keys and ArrayList values. Vasundhra offered to provide Ryan with a practice problem to work on before the next lesson, which will focus on hashmaps.
