# End of week 5

Learned about protected vs private methods and their similarities and differences. Not a lot different though. If a method is protected, it may be called by any instance of the defining class or its subclasses. 

IF a method is private, it be called only within the context of the calling object. 

I also learned how to backdate a git commit so that all my green squares stay lit up. I missed a commit yesterday, so I wanted to make that up with some simple commands. 

export GIT_AUTHOR_DATE="Wed Feb 16 14:00 2037 +0100"
$ export GIT_COMMITTER_DATE="Wed Feb 16 14:00 2037 +0100"
$ git commit

also still working on removing the experiment code from the preferences page and have a bunch of tests failing which doesn't even seem related to the page I am working on!
