Imperative programming

American Sign Language, body language, English, Mandarin Chinese, Spanish, and a myriad of programming languages; these are all of the things in which, at one time or another, I attempted to gain literacy. I have always been fascinated with the way people communicate and interact with one another, knowingly or not. Communication, however, is not merely limited to the spoken or written word. In fact, a lot of what we encounter in everyday life does not fall into the traditional realm of language.…

Presenting Needs and Initial Intake: Our holistic work with community members begins with our Direct Service Network. Upon arrival at the Panacea Institute for Equality in Education, families are greeted with a “pre-screen” process to determine their presenting need. At this initial entry point, education challenges supersede all other family challenges. The support staff responsible for the prescreening process will determine the severity of the educational challenge and will determine how…

Introduction Object Oriented Programming is a programming language type modeled around using combinations of data structures, or objects, instead of actions and data instead of logic. These objects are modeled off both the state and behavior of real world objects. They can exchange information with one another or can be combined with each other into blocks. The objects also have procedures that can access and modify the data of the object they are in. The programs are designed for the objects to…

WHAT IS OBJECT ORIENTED PROGRAMMING? Object oriented programming in a methodology of software development that allows for the designation of functions to be applied to data structures such as classes, these classes are referred to as objects, hence the name. Object-Oriented coding is one of multiple major programming paradigms. These include but are not limited to; Imperative, Logical, Functional and Object oriented. Problems that can be solved by one of these paradigms can normally be solved by…

Python is an object oriented programming language, with very clear syntax, that incorporates modules, classes and dynamic typing. Python was created by Guido van Rossum, a Dutch programmer. At his time working at CWI, a Dutch research institute, in a group that involved the distribution of the Amoeba operating system, he wanted a better and easier way to do system administration other than using C programs. Van Rossum wanted a language that could be used in the Amoeba systems with a similar…

incorrect, so then they can base their decision on the classroom standards . Guy M. Haas is is a researcher on curricula based on the introduction of computer programming, defines computer programming as the “descript[ion] of processes and procedures;” it also surrounds the “authoring of algorithms” (3). In schools, the creativity component of programming is not shown. As a result, there are job opportunities not being taken due to the small population whose experience is in…

The ability to understand programming and all of its algorithms will grant anybody the power to keep up with technology. This is why elementary schools need computer science classes integrated into their curriculum. Teaching young children how to program will evolve the world in new ways by allowing these individuals to create new applications and technology. Since there are not any computer science related courses offered in elementary schools, they are restricted from the opportunity to learn…

In the article, “Grace Murray Hopper – Programming Pioneer”, author V. Rajaraman summarizes the life and accomplishments of Grace Murray Hopper, a woman who is credited for several major computer and technology developments. Rajaraman goes into extensive detail about Hopper’s early life, such as how Hopper focused heavily on her education in order to receive a PhD in Mathematics at Yale University which soon lead her to become a math professor at Vassar College. Rajaraman also mentions how…

Technology has been developing for centuries and has taken a huge leap toward our future. Technology has advanced so much to the point where everyone has high expectations for my generation of engineers. Alan Mathison Turing was a British pioneering computer scientist and a mathematician who has made major contributions in his time (Copeland). Over 70 years ago, Turing introduced the notion of machine that is universal. The central concept of the contemporary computers was based on his very…

University Team in 2010 and I participated in ACM competitions. Also, I was a member of math club and a participant in AUC Mathematics Competition in 2009 where I discussed difficult problems in the field of mathematics. In 2011, I volunteered to teach programming to high school students and I was the coach for a team of 3 students who developed an app using PHP, Flash and MySql to compete in an international competition called Oracle Think-Quest. We received a certificate of achievement from…
