First Time Finishing a CLD Practice Exam!! (CarWash)

[AldhairGarza]

No i'm not trying to judge. I was just curious about how much time it's usually needed.

You only get 4 hours. If you need more then 4 hours, you'll loose points on functionality, documentation or style...

How long it usually takes? 8-12 hours. So you need to double or triple your efforts for 4 hours . Seriously, work hard right from the start, you need to make every second count.

I have to think the OP is not spending all day on one run-through.  😉

That is a training strategy: get things working with good quality, then work on improving the time to make it..

As far as I can see, you get all the points for functionality, but if I were to be nitpicky, I would say you need to give feedback to the customer that the high pressure wash was selected.  It's not that difficult to do - just set the button value to false on startup.  The idea is not to startle the customer.  😉

Note:

Instead of those humongous free labels that you have describing what is happening in each diagram of each structure, you can righ-click on the structure and enable submenus.  This will give you a space right under the selector (if case or event structure) or just right under the top (sequence structure, FOR loop, WHILE loop).  Makes it nice n tidy.

PASS.  Easily.

Thanks Bill!  Great feedback and suggestions.  Thanks for taking the time to look at it.

Exactly, at first I found my self unable to finish the test in a day, then I got closer to the 8 hour mark.  I slowly cut down each test as my mental efficiency improved over time.

I found that on this run, writing pseudo code at the start may have actually shaved an hour off my time.

Just for reference: those things are called Subdiagram Labels. Right click->Visible items->Subdiagram Label.

Good advice though!

I must have been half asleep when I wrote that.  😄
