Project Update #1

What the User Sees
So far, after completing about half of my hours for my project, I have succeeded in creating a functional conversion calculator. The calculator is capable of converting moles to grams and grams to moles, with any known element. The most difficult part of this project was creating the basis of the array that holds the values of each element. It was a new concept which I had not learned before, and with the help of my mentors, I was able to implement it into my program. Because all of the work is done on the computer, not much can be shown through photographs. I have instead provided screenshots of the program.

What the Programmer Sees
With the basic calculator completed, what is next is to make improvements. Such improvements would involve the user interface and the program's efficiency. Another step would be to add a way to supply the molar mass, or other constants to the user. Also, instead of involving only single elements, a method could be created that allows for the analysis of compounds.

Behind the Scenes of the Array
