What is Computer Science? Is it about observing scientific experiments on a computer? Is it a type of engineering for computers? Well to answers those thoughts, no. Computer Science is all about the software side of computers. Coding is the key word. Running and creating programs is what computer science is. To create software, one must know a programming language. So then the big question is, for a computer programmer what coding language should they learn?
First off, the language C is known by many programmers as a lingua franca. A middle ground language for coders. If coders know C, they know C++ and possibly C#. C#’s syntax is similar with C/C++ but distinct differences separate them. Microsoft created C# as a competitor to Java, so think of this as a fork in the road for C. As stated in Wendy Logan’s (2008) article, “Is C dead?”, she made the point that C is the language for test engineers because of how convenient and effective it is. She also disclosed that C can optimize code beneficially to the coder because of the language’s greater access to the hardware and operating system. This ability leads to fine tuning of the program size and execution speed of the compiler. The article mentions how C has a well-known community, so coders have greater access to code reuse tools. C has a specific purpose in the industry because of Microsoft Visual Studio, it gave coders of the language a place to develop for.
Reading further in Wendy’s article, she wrote about the
About.com. N.p., n.d. Web. 22 Aug. 2011. . In the year 2008 there were 426,000 computer programmers employed. Computer programmers write the program the computer uses to function. The computer programmer follows the specifications given to them by the computer software engineer. Specialized knowledge and experience with a language or operating system could lead to a computer programmer becoming a computer software engineer. Programming skills and programming experience is highly valued in this field. Computer programmers must constantly update their skills to keep up with changing technology. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts, Employment of computer programmers, is expected to decline slowly through 2018.
First let us take a look at computer programming. This element takes on different program designs created by engineers and uses one of several different programming languages to write executable code that computers can read. Programming is the source for
Science, such a wonderful thing, isn’t it? It has created the basis for everything in the world that we enjoy today, from the very common example, your phones, to things that you might not even notice, like the synthetic fibers of the clothes that you are wearing. A common view about science is that science itself has no relation to society, that science is true and objective. This is one of the most controversial issues about science, that science is value neutral. But what we need to accept, is that it is not.
Computer programming is a great subject that should be taught in schools, because it is an important skill and a gateway
1. What is machine code? Why is it preferable to write programs in a high level language such as C++?
To learn about my career better, I went to AsimAli channel and search computer science. The video showed as Lecture 0 - Introduction to Computer Science I, it talks the computer science is fast growing a career. The video tells that the computer scientist must learn to know what is Binary, ASCII. Algorithms, Pseudocode, Source code, Compiler, Object code, Scratch, Statements, Boolean expressions, Conditions, Loops, Variables, Functions, Arrays, Threads, Events. The binary number system is a central role that how information is stored on computers. It made up of electronic circuits, which have 2 states: on and off. ASCII stands for American Standard Code for
him to create a more powerful language similar to C with high level features for organization. The design

Technology is becoming a bigger part of this world every day, and programmers are needed for every bit of it. Anything that is at all electric involves programming. Someone has to program the street lights to run at certain times. Someone has to program your phone and all of the applications on it. Someone has to program the computer that you’re reading this off of. Programmers are essential to everyday life, and without them, there would be no working technology.
I have attended several colleges in my lifetime in the pursuit of a Computer Science degree. Although the colleges I have attended are diverse, the classes are challenging, and the curriculum differs from school to school, the one constant at every college seems to be the computer science majors. Computer science majors at every college I have attended can be classified into three main categories; Geeks, Nerds, and Dorks.
Thanks to my current school, I have grown to adore computer science. Unlike many other subjects in school, such as biology or world history, there is no need to memorize facts. Instead, it is a language that almost any person can learn - well, at least the basics. It is similar to learning a language, but, unlike languages such as Spanish or Chinese, there is no weird grammar that makes absolutely no sense that are considered to be "exceptions." Programming languages use logic, making it easy to learn and to
This is a vital asset for anyone getting into game making. “Different platforms (games consoles, PCs, handhelds, mobiles, etc.) have particular programming requirements and there are also various specialisms within programming, such as physics programming, AI (artificial intelligence), 3D engine development, interface and control systems.” (Creativeskillset | Game Programmer) Because the coding language across these platforms is not universal, any programmer who hopes to make his/her game appear on multiple platforms needs to know the other coding languages
In the twenty-first century, an increasing number of jobs will involve programming computers. Coding is the writing the instructions for all types of computers and computer programs. Everyone, especially students in elementary school, should learn how to code. Gaining coding skills has many benefits for young learners.
Major in Computer Science could allow me to do many things. For example, many gamers had been thirst for better games, and I could use my knowledge to make better games for them. I have played a lot of games, and I understand how important is teamwork. I could use the teamwork skill I learned in games in work to produce better products. When I’m reading from the websites, I always look for the use of vocabulary. The United States is an immigrant country , and many non-native english speakers do not understand the “big words.” Learning English was hard, and continue educational and career goals will require higher understanding of English. I believe English will benefit me the most toward my educational and career goals. Overall, I think the
To progress as a society, we must first look back at all the hardships faced throughout the years. We must look at the world leaders who were able to convince entire countries to eliminate millions of people different than themselves. We must understand the groups of extremists spreading terror and fear across the globe, and we must control people in power abusing their positions to benefit themselves and their agendas. Instead of ignoring these human mistakes, we must break them down and figure out how they could happen. Artificial Intelligence relies on our abilities to learn from our mistakes and mold our future in a way that will be beneficial and equal to all people. This paper will present the many benefits that A.I. will give
