Computer programming

Item Blog-1 What is computing power? The efficiency of the computers is reliant on the computing power of the unit. The central processing unit (CPU) has different components among them an electronic clock. The job of the electronic clock is to create electric pulses at various intervals. The pulses allow the computer to synchronize different components while determining the speed in which different calculations can be done in the computer as well as pulling data from the memory. The ratings of…

I was contacted by my old coding teacher and received the opportunity to assist her in leading this year’s coding program. Although I knew I wasn't the best at coding, I saw this offer as a chance for me to learn more about it while sharing the little that I knew with others. During last year's program I got the opportunity to create my own games/programs/apps, and I learned more about JavaScript and its role in businesses. With this information I realized that knowing at least basic code is…

Demand In the field of computer software engineering there is a strong likelihood a college graduate with a degree in software engineering will find a job in this field since almost all companies and areas are now using computer systems requiring software. In 2016, the US Bureau of Labor predicts there will be 186,000 new positons for engineers from 2014-2024. They state the jobs in this field are growing by 17% in those 10 years, which is faster than the average for other jobs. Today there are…

The skills learned from programming are so universal and essential that there should be no question about teaching in schools. Why is programming so important? Well, there is not a day that goes by that you are not using something that requires programs to run. Every little thing you do on your phone, smart or not, needs a program. Watching the morning news, your cable…

love to do either computer science or electrical engineering, as these are the areas I want to major in when I go to college. I came to GSMST because I have always had an interest in engineering, and GSMST has only made that interest stronger. My courses have definitely played a big role. In 9th and 10th grade I took programming classes and really enjoyed them. They helped me to learn the basics of programming, and after that, I took it upon myself to learn even more programming knowledge and…

Object oriented programming (OOP) is programming is based on objects. Programmers also have to define not only data type of data structure but also the functions that needs to be applied. OOP enables programmers to create modules so that much changes are not needed when new objects are added. Simula is the first OOP language developed in 1960s at the Norwegian Computing Center. Some do consider Smalltalk to be the true object oriented programming environment. Visual Basic is an object-oriented…

Artificial Intelligence, the readers must first know what it is and how it works. First, some important terms need defining. Artificial Intelligence or AI is a, “... subfield of computer science that focuses on creating computer software that imitates human learning and reasoning” (Blackwell and Manar 1). Different from most computer programs, Artificial Intelligence does not use a predetermined step system with instructions, otherwise known as algorithms. However, it does use software, the set…

Intellect allows a possible life form to make critical decisions, learn, and adapt to changes. Turkle discusses primitive toys such as the Speak and Spell, Merlin, and Simon. “This first generation of computers in the playroom challenged children in memory and spelling games, routinely beating them at tic-tac-toe and hangman” (461). Another example of higher level computational intelligence is in SimLife games. The author explains, “Simulation worlds-for…

In Programming The Post-Human: Computer science redefines “life,” Ellen Ullman uses captivating, argumentative, and reflective language in order to convey the complications of making an intellectual, sentient machine and explores the unanswered, unconventional questions about humans themselves to computer enthusiasts and thinkers. Her use of questions to captivate and engage readers is noteworthy. Likewise, observations, comparisons, contrasts, and analogies support to make her argument. Careful…

team, grinding and welding and programming without bounds. The finest gumbo of human achievement, the robotics team accepted my flavor unwaveringly. Although I felt that I was needed with the labeling and organizing, I had no particular impact on the gumbo until computer science discovered me. Programming, that hidden language of the universe that ranges from DNA to cellphones, instilled into me newfound awe at the complexity of life. After exposure to programming in my robotics class, I…
