Exercise 4

Well, I think i'm a little bit late..But anyway i'm going to do a short paper. I only read the first part of the teacher's mail and it said:

"For the final session of IT English on Dec 7th, we are doing a class
projcet. You can choose either to do a presentation (esitelmä) or a
short paper (aine)"

So here I am, a few days late. My bad.. Uhm.. Anyway i'm going to do a paper about Windows 2003 Server and Security. I will write about installing Windows 2003 and converting it to a workstation and setting up better security for the PC.

See you tomorrow! -Matti

Exercise 4

I’m going to write a short paper, because even the word presentation gives me the chills. My paper is going to be about the basics of C++. I have this Finnish book of C++ and I will go *throw it from the beginning and make notes of the important parts **as long as the 500 words is fullfilled. Hopefully some learning will ***occure in the process. At least I have to translate some basic concepts of programming. There ****is 730 pages in the book but I don’t think I will get that far.. I think the actual learning part of programming will happen when solving the problems included, but since I have to write this paper I can’t jump straight to those which I would otherwise do. So maybe this task is good for me because I really can’t ever tell what I’m doing when programming, *****I’m just doing it.. Elina

** hmmm... This needs a little rephrasing. Maybe "until I get the required 500 words"
*** occur
**** are

Very good!

Exercise 4

Linux was written by Linus Torvalds, born December 28th 1969 Helsinki. August 25 in 1991 Linus Torvalds release first clone operating system, Minix. Minix was early version of Linux. One of the more interesting facts about Linux is that development simultaneously occurs around the world. People from all over the world contributed to Linux. Linux is being developed under the GNU General Public License (GPL), and thus is freely redistributable in source code. Linux therefore was and remains a free program. Anyone can use it without charge, on condition that any improvements they make are also uncopyrighted and freely available. Linux is compact and it runs faster than windows. It is also more stable.

***************** Copy/paste, copy/paste, copy/paste... Rami, it's better to write "pääd Inglis" than to copy... I really hope you didn't try to copy your whole essay. It will earn you 0 points if you do.


So, I write to the Linux, something about Linux developer Linus Torvalds, system requirements, Linux history and of course, where you can get Linux. So, everyone who read this essay, should have small idea, what is Linux and where it come from!? Rami Fält

***I'll give you 2,5 points for this last part, though.

Presentation

VisualC++ has a very useful tool, a debugger. It is a good practice to use it often. I think I must become more familiar with it. * problem is that debugging is often introduced at **late ***state and much unnecessary work is done. Earlier ****in this year I *****performed a driving licence for computer and now those skills are needed when doing a power point program about debugging. I think this is going to be ******much work and I shall learn a lot. Now *******it is an open job as a spokesman for me on Dec 7th. I think I ********am not here in tuakk next Tuesday and Wednesday but see you on Monday to do chat about this. Kari Lindholm

Directions for exercise 4

Okay, for the final blog entry, I would like you to present your personal plan of how you are going to do your presentation or paper. For those who write a paper, the word requirement is 150 words and you can earn up to 10pts. For those who do the presentation the requirement is 100 words and you get the normal 5 pts.

If you have questions, please contact me at vlindhol(a)abo.fi

Exercise 3

Artificial intelligence programming would be interesting, but it can be complex. Let's say that your next job is to do a computer program that can chat with you. Ok, it could be easy to make an AI Chat bot that answers to simple questions. Just collect all kind of answers to into arrays of the bot's data. But what about if you should add features like personality, feelings and emotions… Well those are more difficult to implement. So beware of AI programming, it can take a while to be a guru at it! Anyway concepts of the AI programming can be found here. -Matti

Good work.

Exercise 3

Hopefully the following pathetic attempt to cast some light on some of the concepts mentioned in the text *implements the purpose of this exercise..
In Boolean logic each **values are reduced to either True or False. Boolean logic consists of three logical operators Or, And and Not. Dynamic array means that one doesn’t have to determine the size of the array when programming. Static features are determined when programming and ***so are steady. **** pointer is a variable that holds the address of anything in memory. So it doesn’t care *****of the type of data. **** debugger is used when searching ****** faults of the code. Elina


* I'm afraid you can't use implement here, really. "fulfills" would be better in this case. Good try, though...

Exercise 3

This is almost impossible. The concept was simple but implementation is difficult. I try to process this subject, but i need artificial intelligence to write this subject over.
Some time ago i tried try to use Visual Basic, it looked like simple but it isn't. One of VB featured programs is debugger. You can test your code, debugger shows any error(s), so, your work is easy, click and fix. I modified this text maybe 10 times, and it hard because i don't have any ideas. This is enough! Now i execute, publish Post task by click "Publish Post" button and that's it.

You really showed that you knew what the words did. Good!

Exercise 3

So, five words from the text. I have no idea where to start processing this subject. Perhaps movies. Yes, movies are always good place to start at.
I, Robot, starring Will Smith, is a sci-fi action movie that has an artificial intelligence as * “the bad guy”. It implemented old-fashioned rules of sci-fi and by that I mean those robots. There were thousands of them and they all were human like. You know; two legs, two hands and one head. Today’s concept of robotics is not that simple anymore. **A modern coffee machine has so many features that it could be called robot, but it still looks like coffee machine. You have probably seen *the vacuum cleaner robot “Trilobite”. It automatically executes tasks programmed in it, but is certainly not humanoid like.
Movie itself was quite entertaining anyways.

PS. Luckily this text can always be modified.

* the
** Either you need to write "A modern..." or Coffee machines of today and change the rest of the clause into plural.

Very Good!

Blog exercise 3

Many programming tools have three possible environments. Design, run and debug. If the program works, but not like you had thought, you can use a debugger and see what really happens.

Often when working with arrays, **you only know how large they should be when a program is already running. Then you can use dynamic arrays. NEW with VisualC++ and muuttuja () with VB.

C++ has a pointer data type, which is an address of another variable.

Programming tools have also a Boolean data type that has two possibilities: true or false.

When a program runs it often needs to know what instructions to follow when there are many possibilities. You write expressions inside statements. ??? Kari Lindholm

My OS

I have used All windows since 3.11. I remember when I used 3.11 I hated it and then we was had a funny way to say Double your harddrive "destroy your windows:-)". When windows 98 first published I first really started to use windows and now I still think win '98 is the best and simplest. Dos is my strong area when it comes to Os's but I don't know what else to write about this.

My history of programs

I have used Visual Basic, a little a C++ and Pascal, but it was between 93-96. I'dont remember the languages so well anymore. My best memory about languages is basic and the reason is simple : it's like english and I used that lot's more than another languages. And that's it.

Programming experience

I know, or at least I should know C++ basics because I was on a C/C++ course a long time ago, but that was a crappy course. With Visual Basic I have made a few small programs. For example I did a poker game (RAY look a like video poker) and a "bot" that got data from a website and saved it to my HD to a file. Actually I didn't have any idea how to make programs like that, but searching for examples and parts of codes with Google made it easy. I also have some experience of Commodore 64 Basic programming :) That’s all... -Matti.

Very good,
