Lucas Tam's Nutrition Calculator
By Lucas Tam
Essay
Can you help your health with code? For the last month or so, we’ve been working on a project called a nutrition calculator. This code is supposed to calculate all the different ingredients in our fried rice. This is important because this is for nutrition in space. In this essay, I will talk about my program, how I fixed it, and what I learned.
My code is basically about the amount of nutrition in each ingredient in my fried rice. For example, in my fried rice I have eggs, so then I will go on to Google and search the nutrition data for eggs 100g. After, I put the data into my code and I run it to see if I got an answer. I had to do this for all ingredients in my fried rice. I also used a class to organize my ingredients, a function to calculate all the nutrition, and the printer to print out human readable information.
To be honest, the fried rice calculator was one of the hardest code I've ever done. There were many problems that I had to fix. I did that by asking my mom for some help and looking at others code from the wiki. Some people may believe that this is copying but since I was in a roadblock with my code, I could look at someone elses code to understand what they did and put it in my code. Also, if it still ends up not running, you need to write a comment saying that your code is broken because if you don't it's will be a waste of the teacher's time and your time.
Lastly, I learned that I was quite irresponsible and maybe a bit lazy when doing my work. But I also learned that everything we do is for a reason, no matter how much I disliked doing the fried rice calculator I knew it was still very important.
All in all, talking about my progam, how I fixed it, and what I learned helped me communicate with the public. The first time I was told to do this I had no clue about what I was doing. Now, I understand the code a bit more and learned a couple of intresting stuff. Now, you should try to make your own fried rice using any ingredient. If your fried rice is healthy enough, you can try and code it too.
