...Faith Integration Paper (Relationship between God, Family, Society) In the field and study of computer science in relation to one’s relationship to others, I believe they can co-exist and that computer science can complement the Christian faith, if kept in perspective. For example, both computer science and Christianity affect the lives of other’s worldwide, especially loved ones at large. As computer science makes technological advances and progresses in discovering and applying new technology, we are able to do more in reaching out and keeping in touch with those who are close to us, for example our parents, society and, more importantly to God. With this in mind, the opportunities are limitless as knowledge increase and evolve, intertwining into the fabric of our relationship to others, thus benefiting others in an ever changing world. Computer science provides an opportunity to learn various ways of communicating to our family with knowledge and information and to others in many areas that would have been very difficult to access otherwise. One fine example is keeping in touch with loved ones who live overseas or perhaps maintain that important continuity of relationship, by letting others know that they are loved and respected. With computer technology, there are many websites that provide knowledge ample opportunities of maintaining communications with friends and family, while at the same time utilizing the opportunity of propagating the gospel of Christ as God...

Declarative programming is a programming paradigm that expresses the logic of a computation without describing its control flow. Declarative programming is often defined as any style of programming that is not imperative A program that describes what computation should be performed and not how to compute it. Any programming language that lacks side effects (or more specifically, is referentially transparent) A language with a clear correspondence to mathematical logic. Declarative programming is an umbrella term that includes a number of better-known programming paradigms (i.e. Functional + Logic Programming)...

...Pirahã and its Implications for Grammar When Linguist Dan Everett was sent to the Amazon Jungle to live with the Pirahã people, his mission was to learn their language and convert them to Christianity. What he left with, many years later, were theories about grammar and language he never thought he would discover. His views about language changed drastically, from agreeing with former colleague at Illinois State University, Noam Chomsky, to rejecting those views wholeheartedly. He spent years formulating new hypotheses based on his study of the Pirahã people, and is a big proponent of language being culture-based, that is to say that how people speak has a lot to do with their culture. While living in the Amazon, Everett changed in many ways including, not only beliefs and ideals about grammar and language, but also in beliefs and ideals of religion. To understand how Everett was affected by the Pirahãs, we must first understand where he came from and what he believed prior to meeting them. Everett was born in Southern California and said in an interview with Radio New Zealand’s Kathryn Ryan that he did not consider himself or his family religious. When he was in high school, however, he met a woman who would soon become his wife who was extremely religious to the point that she eventually converted him to Christianity. He became such a genuine believer that he would preach his beliefs on the streets and ultimately became an ordained minister. What he believed when...

...Assignment 2 1. Write a function that takes an array of int as a parameter and returns a count of odd numbers in the array. Assume the array has MAX elements where MAX is a global constant int. That means that before all of the functions there is a declaration like: const int MAX = 10; And arrays are declared like: int myArray[MAX]; Note: if you are having trouble with the array questions, be sure to work through the “Building Block” problems in this module first. 2. Write a function that takes an array of int as a parameter and returns the sum of odd numbers in the array. Assume the array has MAX elements where MAX is a global constant int. 3. Rewrite your answer to the previous question as a recursive function. 4. Write a function that is passed two parameters: a one-dimensional array of int values, and an int value. The function finds the value in the array that is closest in value to the second parameter. For example, if the array had the values {5, -3, 18, 9, 4} and the second parameter was 11, then the function would return 9, because 9 is the closest value in the array to 11. If two values are equally distant, return either. In the previous example, if the second parameter was 7, either 5 or 9 could be returned. Assume the array has MAX elements where MAX is a global constant int. 5. Write a function that initializes the components of a two-dimensional array in the following manner: components above the upper-left to lower-right diagonal should be set...

Write your answers as ordered pairs. a) { (0 , 11) , (1 , 20) , (2 , 34) , (3 , 41) } this is because no value is same for the order pairs in x values b)Create and justify a relation that does not represent a function with the given range. Write your answers as ordered pairs. { (0 , 11) , (0 , 20) , (2 , 34) , (3 , 41) } this is the case since the values of X in the first two cases are similar hence making it not be a function 2) Find the equation of the line in the graph, and mathematically model the scenario using function notation where cost is a function of number of minutes. We start by calculating the slope m = (40 - 20)/(400 - 0) m = 20/400 m = 2/40 m = 1/20 the form of the equation is given as; y = mx + b where m is the slope hence m = 1/20 , (0 , 20) y = (1/20)x + 20 3) A textbook company keeps track of its daily cost for printing whole textbooks to different schools, but can only print up to 500 books a day. The daily cost (C) to print x number of textbooks is given by C(x) = 3.50x + 1200. A. a) Using the function, determine one possible daily cost by evaluating the function for any input of your choice with four text books as x = 4, the cost is : C(4) = 3.50 * 4 + 1200 C(4) = 14 + 1200 C(4) = $ 1214 b) For what value of x does C(x) = 1900 C(x) = 3.50x + 1200 when C(x) = 1900 1900 = 3.50x + 1200 1900 - 1200 = 3.50x 700 = 3.50x 700/3.5 = x 200 books =...

...Lit211J February 19, 2012 Wk 5 Silko Annotation She retraces the mountain of her ancestry every single day quietly. In the wind she can smell the scent of her ancestors made from crushed pale blue leaves of the mountain. The smell is coming from up the mountain side from which her ancestors descended from, where the mountain lion laid down and ate their deer. It is better to be where she once came from, where her ancestors came from, up on that mountain watching nature. The elderly that remember it once are all gone, the old songs of ancestors are forgotten, and the story where it all began died with its memory. The memory of the culture dances in the snow frost moonlight, swam in the freezing mountain water, went through the narrow mossy canyon down and out of the mountain, out of the deep canyon stone, becoming a memory spilling into the world. The theme of ancestry is seen in this poem. Ancestry to the protagonist can be felt in all of her days and smelt in the wind that comes from the mountains. It is the main reason for this poem and it is very important to the protagonist. The ancestry of her people was once rich in a time before and is now lost but she can still sense it in nature. Ancestry is important to her in her every day dealings and she remembers it in all the aspects of her life. She knows where her culture came from and where she came. Her people are from the mountain and she will never forget where she came from. Disinheritance is another theme...

...Carlisle IT Part Number Selection Structure Phillip Reynolds PRG/211 Novermber 5, 2012 Jack Warner Carlisle IT Selection Structure in Part Selection Module In order to create a successful program the importance of the analysis and design stages of the program development cycle cannot be overstated. After an in depth look at the problem and analysis of the problem it has led to the first stages of product design. The project is on schedule and an example of the programs functions and use of control structures will be introduced as we discuss the program updates. Part Number Input Module One of the major functions of the program will not only be footage production, which will be discussed in later program development reports but also part number tracking. Tracking what part number is ran within each run will provide a historical database for analysis providing improved inventory control procedures. The data will be tracked as currently tracked on paper but stored digitally into a database. This process can be realized within the program by the utilization of control structures and iteration control structures. Control Structures As discussed within (Venit & Drake, 2011) a selection control structure gives a computer the ability to take a defensive stance against incorrect data, which forces users to enter valid data as the input. Selection control structures additionally offer users the ability to make a decision within a...

...on multi-branched recursion. A divide and conquer algorithm works by recursively breaking down a problem into two or more sub-problems of the same (or related) type, until these become simple enough to be solved directly. The solutions to the sub-problems are then combined to give a solution to the original problem. This technique is the basis of efficient algorithms for all kinds of problems, such as sorting (e.g., quicksort, merge sort), multiplying large numbers (e.g. Karatsuba), syntactic analysis (e.g., top-down parsers), and computing the discrete Fourier transform (FFTs). On the other hand, the ability to understand and design D&C algorithms is a skill that takes time to master. As when proving a theorem by induction, it is often necessary to replace the original problem by a more general or complicated problem in order to get the recursion going, and there is no systematic method for finding the proper generalization. The name "divide and conquer" is sometimes applied also to algorithms that reduce each problem to only one subproblem, such as the binary search algorithm for finding a record in a sorted list (or its analog in numerical computing, the bisection algorithm for root finding).[1] These algorithms can be implemented more efficiently than general divide-and-conquer algorithms; in particular, if they use tail recursion, they can be converted into simple loops. Under this broad definition, however, every algorithm that uses recursion or loops could be regarded...

...Matthew Hendrickson Tree Lab Questions 1. Recursive algorithms work well for trees because recursion allows for storing areas that have been traversed on the system stack, so that all avenues can be explored. Similar to the maze example from the chapter on recursion. Recursion also works well when the same steps have to be repeated on different parts of a data structure and is often simpler and more elegant than iteration with a loop. The same way an array is continuously broken and half and searched for a binary search, traversing a tree requires breaking a large tree into smaller trees. 2. Binary trees are only efficient when they are balanced. A balanced binary tree can be searched quickly, with growth of O(log n). If the tree is unbalanced, it can become similar to a linked list, which has a search growth of O(n). Inserting elements in binary trees requires similar operations no matter what type it is, and are similar to a Doubly Linked List in efficiency. The most efficient types of binary trees are self balancing. 3. A level order traversal requires the use of some kind of collection to hold all the elements in a level, then those items are searched in order. A Queue is the best type of collection for this, since the items can be added to the queue from left to right and then dealt with in order, for each level. A recursive level order traversal is possible, but it requires visiting each node twice, which makes it much less efficient than using a while loop and...

..."The Beauty and Joy of Computing: Computer Science for Everyone", Constructionism 2012, Athens. About the development of CS 10, Berkeley's new CS breadth course for non-majors. Why Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs matters In 2011, to celebrate the 150th anniversary of MIT, the Boston Globe made a list of the most important MIT innovations, and they asked me to explain the importance of SICP. This is what I sent them. "Bringing 'No Ceiling' to Scratch: Can One Language Serve Kids and Computer Scientists?" (with Jens Mönig, a talk at the Constructionism 2010 conference in Paris). Scratch is the brilliant grandchild of Logo, from the MIT Media Lab, that uses drag-and-drop visual programming to achieve, truly at last, the "no threshold" half of Logo's famous promise, combined with a half-million-strong social network of kid programmers sharing projects and working collaboratively. But Scratch deliberately drops the "no ceiling" part. How hard would it be to do both at once? Not hard at all, we think, if we remember Lisp's core idea of procedure as data. BYOB (Build Your Own Blocks) is an experimental implementation of this goal. "Speech at UCB CS Graduation, 2005"At Berkeley every department has its own graduation ceremony.

A linked list allows data to be input or removed easily because each of the data items in the list is connected to its neighbor by a pointer that can be quickly and easily modified to accommodate new or removed items (CTU M.U.S.E. 2014). The Phase 1 portion of this document will be demonstrating the implementation of Stacks and Queues. Phase 2 Hash tables can be viewed as an array of lists and are used to speed up a search for data by creating a situation that does not require the search to start at the beginning and go through every item. The identifying value is the key and the associated record is the data, thus a hash table is a collection of (key, value) pairs. Phase 3 In order to efficiently use a database, the data must be stored in some sort of order. There are a number of different sorting algorithms; a programmer would choose which one to use depending on the amount...
