# Summary

Throughout this jam, you've explored several key aspects of software development:

1. **Regular Expressions as a Tool**: You've learned how regex can be used for:
- Input validation
- Pattern matching
- Text processing
- Debugging support

2. **Debugging Techniques**: You've mastered multiple approaches to debugging:
- Print debugging for quick insights
- Using the debugger for deep analysis
- Scientific method in problem-solving
- Choosing the right tool for each situation

3. **Code Organization**: You've learned how to improve code through refactoring:
- Extracting methods for better organization
- Single responsibility principle
- Making code more maintainable
- Testing after each change

Remember: Good software development isn't just about making code work - it's about making it work well, making it maintainable, and being able to fix it when things go wrong.

# Project Structure

The following new files should be in your repository:

csci205_jams/
├── src/
│   └── main/
│       └── java/
│           └── jam03/
│               ├── PatternMatcher.java
│               ├── LogAnalyzer.java
│               ├── BaseConverter.java
│               └── answers.txt

# Submission

Before submitting your work, complete this final checklist:

1. **Code Completeness**
- All required files are present and in correct locations:
- `PatternMatcher.java`
- `LogAnalyzer.java`
- `BaseConverter.java`
- `answers.txt`
- All files compile without errors
- All programs run correctly

2. **Documentation & Style**
- Code includes proper comments and documentation
- All questions in `answers.txt` are answered:
- Questions 1.1-1.3 (Regex Patterns)
- Questions 2.1-2.3 (Basic Debugging)
- Questions 3.1-3.6 (Scientific Debugging)
- All Java files pass checkstyle verification
- No style warnings remain in any file

3. **Testing**
- All regex patterns have been tested on regex101.com
- All programs have been tested with various inputs
- Log analyzer produces correct output
- Base-3 converter handles all test cases

4. **Version Control**
- All changes are committed
- Working directory is clean
- Changes are pushed to GitLab

:::warning
🚧 **Important Submission Notes**

- Verify your code is in the correct package (`jam03`)
- Double-check all file locations match the project structure
- Run checkstyle verification on all Java files
- Ensure you've pushed your final commit to GitLab
- The instructors can only grade what's in your GitLab repository

:::

Don't forget to push your work to the remote repository:

git push origin main

:::warning
🚧 **Important**
Always verify your work appears on [gitlab.bucknell.edu](https://gitlab.bucknell.edu/). The instructors and graders can only see and grade what you've properly pushed to your remote repository.
