Object-oriented programming

engineers and Mr. Logsdon (the ECP advisor). I made my ultimate goal to create a digital home assistant using a Raspberry Pi. Following the steps of the engineering process, my problem was again that I still only had a very basic knowledge of computer programming. The research faze of my process constituted the majority of my project. In order to research Python coding, I enrolled myself in an online Python course recommended to me by my mentor. I was also able to…

Intelligence In the past half century, Turing Test is being a controversial barrier in the study of artificial intelligence. The AI program cannot achieve the satisfactory standing due to the restriction of computing chip and storage, the limits of programming language, and the lack of creativity, which leads to an insoluble result. With the continuous development of science and technology, most problems will be solved in the future. However, some issues should be taking into seriously…

Hacking A Computer Systems A movie “Algorithm: The Hacker Movie,” illustrates a view of a hacker life and what he or she does because he or she doesn’t care about the privacy and laws. According to the movie, it shows that “The hackers live by one rule: information should be free and everything can be simplified and coded and understood as information” (Documentary Storm). By the statement, we can assume that, the hackers don’t live socially like other people do. They may not go for dates or…

Beyond School Books: Podcast #83, Girls Who Code In anticipation of the International Day of the Girl Child, UNICEF podcast moderator Alex Goldmark interviews Rashma Saujani, the founder of Girls Who Code. The Girls Who Code organization seeks challenge many of the culturally reinforced perception and constructs believed as contributing to the low and declining representation of women within the computer sciences industries of North America. The organization provides confidence enriching…

functional programming. FP was a style of programming that modeled computations as the evaluation of expressions, in contrast to the imperative programming that contained programs composed of statements which would change global state when executed. It was in 1977 that Backus first introduced this language to the public, in which during the lecture “Can Programming be Liberated from the Von Neumann Stype? A Functional Style and Its Algebra of Programs,” he proposed the FP. Functional Programming…

What motivates an individual to commit cybercrime? The six main reasons are: 1. Boredom 2. Challenge 3. Revenge 4. Greed 5. Sexual 6. Political and religious These reasons are all considered to be interference with the lawful use of a computer (Britz, 2013, p.76). Cybercrimes require less planning and resources and lessen the chance of being caught (Motives, 2016). Boredom is a motive that might start off a life of cybercrime. Trying to get into a forbidden system could be seen as a quest…

including chili beans and ground beef. The number of 100-gallon batches of Razorback chili (x1) and Longhorn chili (x2) that can be produced daily is constrained by the availability of chili beans and ground beef, as shown in the following linear programming model: maximize Z = 200x1 + 300x2 (profit, $) subject to 10x1 + 50x2 … 500 (chili beans, lb.) 34x1 + 20x2 … 800 (ground beef, lb.) x1, x2 Ú 0 The final optimal simplex tableau for this model is as follows: cj 300 200 Basic Variables x2…

Computers and technology at large have change the lives of many people in the world both positively and negatively. Computers have unveiled many things which have greatly influenced our lives. This has made many teachers and students to adopt their use in classrooms. However, the use of computers in our classrooms have been characterized by over reliance on them. Cyber space have also played key roles in our lives. For instance there is increase in the number of research paper done each day…

Ever since I was small I have always liked technology. Watching TV, playing video games, and listening to music have always been my favorite things to do. I have seen technology everywhere, on my TV set, my radio, and my video game console. As I grew up, I discovered my passion towards technology, and since then I know what to do in my life. Every time I would damage my computer, broke my phone, or even damage my video games console, my uncle would always fix it. He works with computers and…
