Bit/Byte/Compiler/Interpreter/Source/Code/Object/Code

The power button consists of a 0 and a 1 within the circle (hence the semi-circle with the line in it). The zero stands for the off section, while the one stands for the on section of it.

Binary: The main language of a computer. How it receives and executes commands. Consists of a 0 and a 1, and each command consists of eight 0's and 1's in a certain order, unique to each command, letter, number, etc.

Bits and Bytes: A bit is a single unit (0 or a 1) and is arranged to form bytes. A byte is a form of memory unit (gigabyte, terabyte, etc.) and it is consisted of bits, usually in groups of 8.

Compilers and Interpreters: A compiler is a computer program (or a set of programs) that transforms source code written in binary into another computer language (usually English). An interpreter is what the name implies, a program that executes and analyzes another program, line by line.

Source Code and Object Code: Source codes are a listing of commands to be gathered together and assembled into a program that is to be executed. An object code is the binary version of the source code. The computer can only understand the object code, and therefore executes programs using it. 

Blog - My Perspective on Computer Architecture

Computer architecture is something I don't really have any interest in. The only thing I like about it is that we get something called "programming" out of it, which then allows me to play my games, browse the web, and take notes in class easier so I can get better grades. Nothing of particular that I am specialized in computer architecture. I don't really know anything about this, but I do know the name of this thingie called HTML. Oh, and JAVA.

How do computers understand what we type?

Well, there is binary, and that sends a message to the computer so that it knows what to type and what to search up, etc. I know about that 0,1,0,1 thingie. I learned it maybe 4 years ago?

Systems Thinking

1) A system is an entity of objects that work together to function as a whole.
2) A system works by utilizing the subordinate modules in a certain pattern/order in order for it to function as best as it can.
3) Programming is like a system; you need a perfect amount of coding and certain parts in order for it to work.

Name Card - Prototype/Test

Name Card - Reflection

During my name card, I think that I unleashed my full potential as an artist who could combine multiple aspects into a singular project. I used my imagination, and came up with some interesting ways to interpret the way who I am. I think if I could have been given a little more time, I could have maybe added a thing or two to my "work of genius", but I think it'll be good enough.

Name Card - Empathize

1. Stuck on Desert Island?: I would bring along a solar generator with two power outlets, one for wifi, other for phone/computer charger, phone and computer, infinite sunscreen
2. Rain or Sun: Rain
3. Weirdest Food: lots of liver, chicken feet, escargot
4. City: Fremont
5. Games: War Thunder, World of Tanks Blitz
6. Childhood Memory: 1 year old, balanced apple on hand
7. Day or Night: depends
8. Vacation: France-food, scenery
9. What Language: French
10. Music: Rap, R&B, Hip Hop

Name Card - Ideate

Name Card - Define

1)I might make myself look like weird, because my drawing hasn't been utilized in quite a while.
2) Might as well screw the whole thing up

Design Thinking Process

Empathize: Finding out about your customer's preferences, interacting with them and figuring out about their experiences.
Define: Processing what you found from empathizing with your user, and forming a point of view that will help address to your design.
Ideate: Explore many solutions and create a large number of diverse answers to go beyond your imagination.
Prototype: Your first experiment(s) that are physical, a sort of "guess and check" to help you form your concrete final draft.
Test: Refine your prototype(s) to help create the final version(s) of your project, using multiple tests along the way to help provide the finishing touches.

Hello World

Welcome to my world... which is colorful and filled with many diverse and interesting topics. I like to play tennis (when tennis season comes around, I play for the school team) and I have a love for World of Tanks Blitz and War Thunder.
