Finished Assingments



Assignment 5
This assingment was quite complicated. But i understood the questions at the end, it was actually quite easy.

Although, some of the questions still doesn't show the "correct" answers. That was the most annoying thing that made me slow down. :(

Assingment 6




I finished this assignment quite easily, but it was quite confusing.

I tried to do all sorts of design and format, it was quite cool.

Anyways, i finished assignment 6 now. :)

25th Tuesday November 2008

Today I worked out assignement 1 by looking at the id of each of them. The largest id number is 75.

So there are 75 suspects helid in the police database.

Today I worked out assignment 2 by using the ascending and descending orders.



It was kind of tricky for the date parts, because whatever date i put in. It still won't say correct, so i worked on it for quite a long time.




But anyways i finished it now.






Today I worked out assignment 3 (day 1-2) by using the ascending and descending orders

This time it was quite easy to work out because the police's database has quite a lot of data for me to chose from. Lots of information.






Today I worked out assignment 3 (day 3) by using, again, the ascending and descending orders.



It was quite easy to work todays assignment, because I got used to using the ascending and descending orders.

Today I worked out assignment 4 by creating form and add filters. It was quite tricky because the instructions was quite muddled up.



But anyways, I have already completed assignment 4.
