Computers use an electrical signals that are on or off also known as 1s and 0s. Every kind of data sent to the computer are eventually converted into 0s and 1s. Binary is a two digit system that writes in 1s and 0s. To convert a number into binary number start with the integer and divide it by 2 keep notice of the quotient and the remainder. Repeat this process until the quotient is equal to 0. The digits then are used to store data inside the computer. The reason computers use Binary is for hardware and law of physics. Inside your computer is electrical signals. In the first era of computers the signals were much harder to measure and they used an on and off systems. The on state would be represented with an negative charge and off state represented with a positive charge. Why don't computers use a decimal system instead of Binary. Binary is way more efficient computers wouldn't have to process longer amounts of data and take up more time and data. An on and off compared to a measure of ten numeric values it wouldn't make any sense to use the decimals system when we can easily transfer decimal to Binary.

  Abinezer Abebe STEM  Week 2                                       Computer Based Programming Languages Research   There are varies types of computer programming languages. Python is a interpreted programming language. Interpreted programming languages it incorporates modules exceptions and dynamic typing. Its a very high level programming language. Pythons writability and readability is why its ranked so high on most popular languages next to java and C. Python code is easily portable and has thousands of free open code programs. Why would a user choose python over C? C programming language works well with internal software and while python is a general all purpose language that can complete most tasks. Taking a look at python and C. C was first used in 1972 and designed by Dennis Ritchie and Bell labs. The main purpose of C at the time was for US Army development. Time went on and C was used in small electronics and became more practical. C was also used on the Unix operating syste

Abinezer Abebe STEM  Week 3                                       Computer Based Programming Languages Research   Most video games are made from custom code based on the C programming language. Game programming requires substantial skill in software engineering. There are 7 phases a program goes through before the game is published. The first and important is prototyping. The programmer might write down some ideas and figure out the game plans and how the game would work. Is the game going to be multiplayer is the game going to be online ? The programmer would come up a concept. Next step would be the game design. Here the programmer might Collab with others to deign the characters the game scene. Programmers often follow closely the game design that they have set. As they code every line of the program they capabilities are discovered and exploited. During production the programmer may create a great deal of source code to create his game. They also might use free open source code so

   Abinezer Abebe STEM  Week 8                                                                  Computer Based Research One of the biggest growing fields in Computer Science is Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. Artificial Intelligence is different from basic programs because you aren't the one solving the problem but the computer itself. Artificial Intelligence uses Machine learning software's to fed to the computer this way the computer is "learning". For example a computer can detect images and identify and name the object. For this to work programmers would fed the computer countless pictures of what a dog is considered. Based of those pics you can test the computers knowledge and ask it if a picture is a dog or not. Also there are 5th Generation computer languages these vary from 3rd and 4th gen. In 3rd Generation languages the user is working with a programming language that isn't low level 0 and 1 code it has easier usability and has more key wo
