Cream Puffs!

Yes, I know you think the title has nothing to do with computers or computers class. But, in fact, that is not true! Today we were given a lesson on variables—a follow-up on the reading we'd done yesterday. We talked about variables and their identifiers, as well as the get command, and assignment statements—statements that assign a value to a variable. Oh yes, and the assignment operator (:=). Let me say that Mr. Arkin was quick to point out that it is not in fact "a second mouth"/"weird face I'm making at you", but that the actual operator is ":=". Although it actually makes a really good face! Haha.

If you're still wondering where the cream puffs came in, then you're in luck. First, while demonstrating an example of a program with variables, he created a program which asks for the user's full name, and then displays the first name. He put "Cream Puff". Except "Cream" isn't exactly a very nice first name... but then neither is "Apple" (Gwenyth Paltrow) or "Pilot Inspektor" (I'm not kidding—it's not even spelled properly!), and I don't see anyone complaining.

However, that is not the real inspiration for the title of this post. The truth is... we were treated to cream puffs in class today—the kind with ice cream in them! Win or what? One of our kind classmates brought in the treats, and everyone was, needless to say, delighted.

So, I would say that was a nice ending to the week. As I always like to say, TGIF... and TGfCP!

You can figure the second one out, right? Have a great weekend!
