Compiler/Interpreter/Bit/Byte/UnitofMemory

Bit- digit of binary (0 or 1), (off/on)
Byte - 8 digits of binary; unit of memory, characters represented by bytes

Compiler/Interpreter - converts source code (Java, Python, C++) into binary or machine code
Compiler does it all at once after you write the code
Interpreter does it line by line when you are writing the code

My Perspective of Computer Architecture

I don't know anything about computers.

Q: How do computers understand what I type?

System Thinking

A system is a hierarchy of different elements that relate to one another and work together to achieve a certain goal.

Every module has a specific function it has to perform which is a small part of many different modules doing many different functions.

Systems are used to create an end product, like a game or a website, when all parts of a code must work together.

Name Card - Mission Reflection

I learned that highlighters don't like erasers

I could have known to just use color pencil instead of highlighter.

I didn't really enjoy the project because I do not like the Design thinking Process and the blog stuff. It is review from 6th grade.
