# 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:

```text
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:

```bash
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.
