1.3.6 Tuples and Lists Sagan's conclusion








1. a is a string
    b is a tuple
    c is a list
2.  A) to reduce bugs in the program and if there was only one then things would get complicated. B) They can only be used for mathematical purposes like adding, subtracting or storing numbers and it is also very limiting.

1.3.5 Strings Sagan's conclusion







 1. A) there are 35 characters in the sentence. B) Yes, it does matter. If it is using one byte per character then it can only handle ASCII strings. Four bytes per character would allow it to handle Unicode strings and can hold much larger character set.
2. The 6th and the 10th character will print.

AlarmClock.apk


1) we thought of ideas that would help us on an every day basis. Made a list of everything we could think of then eliminated the ones that were to difficult to do or the ones we didn't know how to do.  Then we pick the one that was basic but it could do what ever we told it to do.  when we chose the alarm clock we then made a list of things we could make it do and picked the one we liked the best.
2) The skill level of programming was high for one person and not the other but the other person helped with ideas, creativity and there was good problem solving.
3) the problem we chose was not being about to wake up in the morning.  So we made and alarm clock that could be sent at any volume or sound and turns of if it is shacked for a curtain amount of time.
4) The two hardest challenges of the code was getting the text bow for entering time to change at the press of a button and aligning the internal clock with what was put into the text box.
                   Problem one



Problem two



5) if there was more time I think the code would have been more smooth and not so chunky and we could have do something more creative and complicated.

Questions and answers
1.       Name 3 things that can be made of bits. Ex: Photographs 
   - a video
 - typing
 -Snap-chat 
2) Based on your opinion, can a computer make mistakes, or are they perfect? Justify your Answer.
2) A computer only does what it is told so if the teller makes a mistake then the computer will read it and find the best results it can with the command it was given.  So the computer itself will not make the mistake without the commander telling it to do so.
4) Summarize Moore's Law and the advancement of processing power.
4)  Moore’s Law: density of integrated circuits double every couple of years     

  3) Draw a Venn diagram about having advance technology.

Determine whether the rapid pace of the growth in digital electronics effects everyday life?

Computers can be good or bad, justify why computers are needed and how they are good?

Predict whether or not you think that computers will be more help or more harm for our future and justify you answer?
