Card Ordering- Reflection Questions

Homework:
Write up your algorithm electronically and post it to your blog for the card ordering.
Algorithm:
1.) If RH card is less than LH card,
2.) Then move LH to RHPos and shift RH to R
3.) Else shift Rh to R
4.) Jump to Line 1 if RHPos is less than 7.
5.) If RHCard is less than LHCard,
6.) Move LHPos to RHPos
7.) Move RHPos to LHPos
8.) Move LH to Position 0
9.) If RHPos is not equal to 0
10.) then Swap and shift LH to R
11.) Jump to Line 9 if LHPos is less than RHPos
12.) STOP
Reflection: Share your responses with stark.brookinehighschool@gmail.com in a google doc as well as post to your blog
Did your algorithm  know when to stop?
Did your instructions state where and how to start?
Was it clear where to put cards back down after you've picked them up?"
Does your card sequencing work for any cards you are given?  How did you sort Aces, Kings, Queens? Did you factor in Jokers? What assumptions did you make?
What questions or challenges did you have in writing your program? What programming concepts connect to prior coding that you have already done?

My algorithm knows when to stop. My instructions state where and how the algorithm starts. The algorithm was clear on where to put the cards back after they were picked up. We sorted Aces as a value of 1, Kings, Queen, and Joker were were the values after 10. The challenges were making sure the algorithm was able to work because one tiny error can affect the entire algorithm. We had to continuously test the algorithm to see if there were no errors. This testing is similar to programming concepts as well.

Reflections from Blown to Bits Ch. 3 (Homework- 9/28/17)

Read Blown to Bits (www.bitsbook.com), Chapter 3 , Ghosts in the Machine, pp. 80-88 (Representation, Reality, and Illusion), then answer the following questions: You can find this under forms and docs/Blown to Bits How does highlighting in a PDF doc work? What are the computational ideas utilized? Continue the exploration of HTML by determining how you would complete today’s activity in HTML. Further compare your own protocol with HTML. Reflections from Blown to Bits Chapter 3: Highlighting in a PDF docs works by using a Highlight tool that will send bits over to the letters and alter the binary. The binary is changed so that when the bits processes through, the letters will be the same but highlighted in a color instead. Between my own protocol and today’s activity, they look pretty similar since they are in the same HTML format. My own protocol was a little less precise about fully doing it in HTML due to being new at the protocol.

Blown to Bits Appendix/Ch.3 Reflection (Homework- 10/11/17)

Day 3: Packets and redundancy Homework due Wednesday, Oct 11: Blown to Bits (www.bitsbook.com), Appendix - The Internet as System and Spirit, pp. 301-309, “The Internet as a Communication System,” then answer the following question: It is interesting to think about the foresight (or luck?) that caused initial Internet designers to choose a packet-switched network as the basis for the Internet. What do you think, foresight or luck? Blown to Bits (www.bitsbook.com), Chapter 3 - Ghosts in the Machine, pp. 91-92, “Data Formats as Public Property,” then answer the following question: What do you think the Internet would be like today if different companies’ network protocols were still competing for adoption for the Internet, instead of TCP being the de facto standard? Blown to Bits Ch.3 Reflection- (by Josh Lim) I believe it is foresight because they were not fully aware on their issues at the time. The designers from the experiments would have trouble understan...
