Documenting a Day

 Hey blog readers in this post we are tasked with working with different applications being Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel and used the different functions available after using them all to display notes about a day in my life. All of the applications have different advantages and disadvantages for example I believe PowerPoint is only good when a user needs to make a presentation. Although that’s a huge disadvantage PowerPoint is amazing for presentations because it provides a simple way to attach pictures, add animations, and transitions in order to give the user the ability to make presentations exciting. Excel is a great tool for processing data and giving you the ability to manipulate that data in many different ways such as addition or subtraction. This tool is great for generating personal graphs for a user and would more than likely be used in a business situation because most people won't need to use these features. A disadvantage is that Excel is boring and doesn’t provide the user with much ability to present the data in a creative or engaging way. The last app that we used was the Word application which is the application used primarily for writing and I believe this application would be the most useful for maintaining a journal. The advantage of Word is it gives the user the ability to write short or long papers and edit these writing in the ways they find fit. A big disadvantage for Word is it is much more difficult to add things like pictures and graphs into your writing and have everything look seamless similar to PowerPoint, but Word does have the capability to add those things. Word is also important in almost any business setting where people use it to generate collections of writings done by the user and then it is easily moved from person to person. Maintaining notes via Word wasn't the best but it is easy once you set up a document where the notes will be saved so I found the journal portion to be a breeze. With all of these applications I’ve used them before and I’m very comfortable with them and I find I use the Word application the most out of all the applications. However, it was interesting looking into the other two applications further and increasing my comfort with them both.

Algorithmic Design and Data Structure Techniques

When it comes to developing structured programs understanding and applying algorithmic design and data structure techniques is crucial. These techniques help in organizing and manipulating data efficiently, leading to more robust and scalable programs in this post, we will explore how to apply these techniques and discuss the importance of choosing appropriate algorithms and data structures for different scenarios. Algorithmic design involves creating step-by-step instructions to solve a specific problem, while data structures refer to organizing and managing data in a program. The choice of algorithms and data structures significantly impacts the performance and efficiency of the program. Are some algorithms and data structure designs better than others? Yes, certain algorithms and data structure designs are more suitable for specific scenarios. The effectiveness of an algorithm or data structure depends on factors such as time complexity, space complexity, and the specific requiremen...

Newbie to Java

Hi there is Relon again here to give new users to Java a quick run through of how to get started using Java and getting comfortable by creating a simple project. I know when I started I was definitely a bit afraid to start my Java class as I haven't coded in a very long time but for any newbie starting you will want to visit the Java tutorials website  https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/index.html  in order to download Java to your computer. Once the page is opened you will look for a box in the lower right hand portion of the webpage that should be labeled Software, in the box it should say Java Development Kit and will link you to the Java downloads page. On the download page you will navigate to your operating system, I installed windows and used the non-compressed option and that the option I would recommend for newbies.  After the download is completed then the user should navigate back to the Java tutorials page above and open the "Getting Started" link near th...

Programming Languages

In the post this week we were tasked with making a program on the website Scratch which allows people to code basic actions, games, and can even add backgrounds or sounds. I enjoyed using the coding tool provided because it does allow you to visualize how the coding process works also it gave you the ability to make interesting products from the code that the user puts together. I’ve taken coding classes in the past so in my option it was tough to look at the coding blocks and see what I was supposed to do but this was simply because I have former experience coding in C++, C, and Java. Overcoming the difficulties with the coding was by simply taking the time to test out the coding blocks and see how they functioned which is very similar to true coding where an answer may just take creative thinking and throwing idea against the wall and checking if it sticks. Along with the activities that we completed in the textbook I feel like I’m comfortable with getting back into coding and as I s...
