November padlet by Isaiah Crawford

Padlet: Describe the features of a programming language that make it different from the language you are used to using in everyday life. Explain why a programming language must be created in this way.

In programming language you can't tell the computer in any way to do something you can't type something like hey computer print "these words" in c++ it would be cout << "these words"; this is so everything can be more compacted all the things you can do are commands like cout or while loops because the computer itself is only programmed to understand that.

Padlet: What is the difference between high level and low level languages?

isaiah_58062 — 2017-11-03 15:50:26 UTC

high level programming is easier to read while low level language isn't so C++ is high and binary is low.

Padlet: Today you will start using simple commands to program. Thinking back to the algorithms activities what do you anticipate will be the same about those activities vs. the 'real' thing?"

isaiah_58062 — 2017-11-06 16:50:49 UTC

I believe it will be the same in the fact it will be simplistic

Padlet: What is the “most efficient” way to program the solution for the 3x3 grid?

isaiah_58062 — 2017-11-07 17:20:25 UTC

the path with the least amount of moves is the most efficient which I cant say I'm sure I've found so forward 1 right forward 3 left forward 1 left forward 3 right forward 1 right forward 3 right forward 3 right forward 3

Padlet: What is a Top-Down Design?

isaiah_58062 — 2017-11-09 15:52:39 UTC

a problem solving approach (also known as stepwise design) in which you break down a system to gain insight into the sub-systems that make it up.

Padlet: Do you think programmers memorize all of the commands in a programming language? If not, how is anyone ever able to use an entire programming language?

isaiah_58062 — 2017-11-13 16:54:01 UTC

I believe it is possible to mesmerize a whole programming languages set of commands.People mesmerize languages completely yet that is more complex then a couple commands.

What is the purpose of parameters in programming?

isaiah_58062 — 2017-11-14 17:23:39 UTC

a parameter is An extra piece of information that you pass to the function to customize it for a specific need.

Padlet: What is the difference between a loop and a for loop? In addition, when should you use a loop instead of a function, or vice versa?

isaiah_58062 — 2017-11-16 16:03:43 UTC

a loop doesnt stop while a for loop continues for as long as the condition is true

Padlet: What is your favorite dish to eat at Thanksgiving?

isaiah_58062 — 2017-11-17 16:51:50 UTC

I don't celebrate thanksgiving but fried rice is good.

Padlet: Define API

isaiah_58062 — 2017-11-28 17:22:54 UTC

application program interface

Padlet: What have you learned so far about the AP Performance Tasks?

isaiah_58062 — 2017-11-28 17:23:50 UTC

The AP Performance task is long hard and I should at least think about what im going to do right now for it.
