Lab #12 Log

0. My name is

1. How much time did it take you to complete the Lab Report?
   
   
   
2. Was this lab harder than the first two labs this week?
   
   
   
3. Why do you suppose that VB has so many different String processing functions?
   
   
4. As you learn more about the language you realize that there are now more things that you could do (print checks, for instance, filling in date, formatted amount and spelled value, calculate the number of days an account is overdue and print out a reminder invoice with a penalty included, calculate peoples ages from their birthdates, do pattern matching to remove duplicate names from an address list, etc.). What prevents you from tackling some of these kinds of “real world” programs? Would these be better than printing a triangle?
