Horray Arrays!

So I just read the chapter about arrays in my textbook and they are real nice. I've had a little experience using them in Matlab and I think they are some of the most useful things in programming, at least for analyzing data. I like the programs you can make with arrays easily with the proper use of the Math.random() method. I almost want to make a card game based off of the example from the book. It would be fun to play cards with something that I programmed myself. It get's boring just making "useless" programs for the homework assignments for class. I think I will enjoy, and learn more, if I set out alone and try to make a program that will aid/entertain me each week. Which reminds me, I did see another blogger (on Tumblr) who created a Java program that tracked the history of a posted photo and displayed how it was shared graphically, kind of like a family tree. I thought this was an amazing idea and I want to try to re-create it as soon as I feel I have enough programming knowledge under my belt. For Now, CS ADVENTURER
