November Padlet by Tyson Hancock https://padlet.com/tyson_103051/io4efqjyb8zp AP Computer Science en-us 2017-11-03 15:52:10 UTC 2017-12-01 17:01:43 UTC hello@padlet.com 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. tyson_103051 https://padlet.com/tyson_103051/io4efqjyb8zp/wish/203354991        A programming language is more like steps that are used to create something, and different things are assigned to different variables. Others are repeated to make the program that you want and you have to give certain commands that the pc will understand ]]> 2017-11-03 15:55:55 UTC https://padlet.com/tyson_103051/io4efqjyb8zp/wish/203354991 What is the difference between high level and low level languages? tyson_103051 https://padlet.com/tyson_103051/io4efqjyb8zp/wish/203355783 Low level programming language is a language that only computers can understand while high level programming languages are languages that can be understood by people ]]> 2017-11-03 15:56:55 UTC https://padlet.com/tyson_103051/io4efqjyb8zp/wish/203355783 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?" tyson_103051 https://padlet.com/tyson_103051/io4efqjyb8zp/wish/203987995 I believe that it will be a similar concept, but very different at the same time. It will be more complex and use a lot more numbers and specific commands.]]> 2017-11-06 16:53:09 UTC https://padlet.com/tyson_103051/io4efqjyb8zp/wish/203987995 What is the “most efficient” way to program the solution for the 3x3 grid? tyson_103051 https://padlet.com/tyson_103051/io4efqjyb8zp/wish/204474037 The best way is to have functions that repeat steps instead of having to re enter them every time. ]]> 2017-11-07 17:21:13 UTC https://padlet.com/tyson_103051/io4efqjyb8zp/wish/204474037 What is a Top-Down Design? tyson_103051 https://padlet.com/tyson_103051/io4efqjyb8zp/wish/205337701 top-down design is a way programming so a system is composed of smaller functions and compiles to make the full program
abstraction- process of removing something from its full state to make it smaller
function- an expression that corresponds to a single instruction ]]> 2017-11-09 15:56:00 UTC https://padlet.com/tyson_103051/io4efqjyb8zp/wish/205337701 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? tyson_103051 https://padlet.com/tyson_103051/io4efqjyb8zp/wish/206846231 I do think after some time that programmers will memorize all of the commands. If somebody doesn't memorize all of the commands or doesn't remember one, they can look online for a list of all of the commands. ]]> 2017-11-14 17:19:50 UTC https://padlet.com/tyson_103051/io4efqjyb8zp/wish/206846231 What is the purpose of parameters in programming? tyson_103051 https://padlet.com/tyson_103051/io4efqjyb8zp/wish/206846643 Parameters are variables assigned to functions so that the programmer wouldn't have to copy down the same function every time with a new name. It makes the process of programming much more efficient.]]> 2017-11-14 17:20:27 UTC https://padlet.com/tyson_103051/io4efqjyb8zp/wish/206846643 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? tyson_103051 https://padlet.com/tyson_103051/io4efqjyb8zp/wish/207743510 A loop is infinite while a for-loop you can choose how many iterations you want. You should use a loop when you're trying to make animation that repeats forever.]]> 2017-11-16 16:07:19 UTC https://padlet.com/tyson_103051/io4efqjyb8zp/wish/207743510 What is your favorite dish to eat at Thanksgiving? tyson_103051 https://padlet.com/tyson_103051/io4efqjyb8zp/wish/208198591 My favorite dish to eat at Thanksgiving is stuffing that my mother makes.]]> 2017-11-17 16:52:48 UTC https://padlet.com/tyson_103051/io4efqjyb8zp/wish/208198591 Define API tyson_103051 https://padlet.com/tyson_103051/io4efqjyb8zp/wish/210514394 A set of rules and protocols to build software applications]]> 2017-11-27 16:52:34 UTC https://padlet.com/tyson_103051/io4efqjyb8zp/wish/210514394 What have you learned so far about the AP Performance Tasks? tyson_103051 https://padlet.com/tyson_103051/io4efqjyb8zp/wish/211035490 I have learned a lot about what I should expect when I take the AP test]]> 2017-11-28 17:21:35 UTC https://padlet.com/tyson_103051/io4efqjyb8zp/wish/211035490
