Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
What went well in your code style, such as indentation, spacing, variable names, readability, etc.? What was lacking?	Went well: My code validates to ensure input is an Integer and throws an error if not. I was able to consolidate the operation of all chosen calculations into a single method. Lacking: My solution to use a float when necessary could have been more elegant. In order to do this, I simply converted one integer to a float in the division case so that the output would be an integer (always). This would have been better if it ONLY displayed as a float when needed. Also, I learned that I should have used 'return' in the cal
How did your code keep track of user input?	I created variables for operation, num1, and num2 to capture user input.
How did your code determine what operation to perform?	I made an array named "valid" with all acceptable operation inputs. Then, I created cases for each operation (ex. when 'add', '+') which make a call to the "calculate" method.
What opportunities exist to create small methods for this project?	A method could have been created to validate when a float was needed.
In the next project, what would you change about your process? What would you keep doing?	I'd like to get better about writing out the whole program in pseudo-code before coding. For this project, I tested out several different ways to structure the code before I simplified into the current version.

Nice! I appreciate the heck out of colorful error messaging.
