Computer Science and Databases made engaging and supportive

Vasundhra guided Darren through adding and formatting tables in PDFs using iText. Darren practiced adding cells, setting background colors, implementing borders, and adjusting text alignment. Vasundhra assigned additional exercises on adding images and lists to tables for Darren to complete before their next session on Thursday.

Vasundhra taught Vinay how to use nested `while` and `for` loops in Java to print dynamic patterns of asterisks and hashes. Vinay practiced writing code to generate these patterns, with Vasundhra providing guidance and correcting errors. They discussed the importance of dynamic code and using loops for flexible solutions.

Vasundhra instructed Vinay on the usage of while loops in Java, differentiating them from for loops and explaining their syntax. Vinay practiced writing while loops to print specific number ranges and began working on a nested while loop to print an asterisk pattern. Vasundhra provided code snippets and guidance to aid Vinay in completing the exercises.

Vasundhra tutored Aarush on Java for loops, covering syntax and logic through exercises like reversing numbers and calculating sums. Aarush initially struggled but improved with guidance, ultimately writing a method to sum even numbers.

Vasundhra taught Darren how to use the iText PDF library in Java to create PDF documents, add pages, paragraphs, and lists, and customize text properties like font and color. Darren practiced adding these elements to a PDF and was assigned a practice problem to work on over the weekend. They agreed to review his work in the next session and continue learning about adding images, tables, and borders.

Vasundhra helped Vinay review core Java concepts, including classes, variable scope, methods, and conditional statements. Vinay worked on a coding exercise to create a `checkAge` method using `if` and `else if` statements. Vasundhra provided feedback on the code and explained the importance of using `else if` for creating linked conditional chains, and they agreed to continue the lesson in a future session.
