Media Design Partial 1

1. Algorithms

   • Characteristics:
     • Precision
       • Must be in the exact order for it to give the correct Output.
     • Determinism
       • If an algorithm is thrown an infinite number of times with the same input, it will always throw the same output.
     • Finiteness
       • Must end at some point.
   • Types
     • Sequential: When an instruction following after another.
     • Conditional: When running some instructions depends on one or more conditions are met.
     • Repeat: When certain instructions should be repeated a number of times.

2. Programming

   • System software: Operating systems and utilities (Windows, Linux, Android, iOS, etc.)
   • Application Software: All programs that help with specific tasks (Office, Google Chrome, Photoshop, etc.)
   • Programming Software: Programming languages that allow us to develop application software.

3. Workflow language

   • Exponents and parenthesis
     • ^ , ( ), sqrt()
   • Multiplyers
     • *, /, div, mod
   • Additioners
     • +, -
   • Div/Mod
     • Used to divide even numbers

4. Conditionals

   • Used for making different paths to take in a workflow depending if it fulfills the statement or not to get a different output.
     • Example
       • Start
         • "Write age"
           • GET age
             • If age>18
               • Yes
                 • "You are an adult"
               • No
                 • "You are underage"
