You probably thought this was one of my political posts right? Well, it’s about algorithms, so if you only read my posts on voting and trump and whatnot, this probably isn’t for you. Okay, maybe the picture gave it away, and maybe the second half of the title did too. Okay now, let’s get to
Read MoreI’m sorry I didn’t post any updates on the game(or anything at all). I’ve been really busy lately, with school restarting and all, so I haven’t been able to find time for this blog. Well, for the first post in about 23 days, I bring to you a big update for the game, in 5
Read MoreBinary search is one of my favourite algorithms. If you don’t know what it is, it is a searching algorithm with a logarithmic run-time and very simple logic, but it works only for sorted lists. Simply start in the middle element. If what you’re searching for is smaller then the middle element, go to the
Read MoreAs you may know, I love programming. And now, I am working on a webiste dedicated to the programs I make. And guess what? It is also a part of Online 4 Hours! I will be creating connections between programs on my new website, and posts on my blog. For example, I have a blog
Read MoreYou might have read my post on the Collatz Conjecture. If you didn’t, you can read it with this link. If you read it, you know I talked about a cool problem called the Collatz Conjecture, and also showed you a piece of code I made. Well, I updated the code, into a library of functions meant
Read MoreRecently I discovered a series of videos called Numberphile. I only watched two, both about a very interesting problem: the Collatz Conjecture. Imagine you take a number. If it is even, divide it by two, if it is odd, multiply it by three and add one. Take the next number and repeat. Simple, right? Let’s
Read MoreNot too long ago, I put together a book review on the book Computational Fairy Tales. If you did not read my review, it`s a book which explains computer science through a medieval-ish story line. The author, Jeremy Kubica, wrote a sequel called Best Practices Of Spell Design. Whereas Comp(Computational Fairy Tales) teaches you about
Read MoreIt’s been a long time since I’ve done a book review, and I found a really good book recently, so I figured I’d better write a book review. The book is “Computational Fairy Tales”, written by Jeremy Kubica. If you have a kid interested in computer science, you probably know about the many books designed
Read MoreI have my very own Minstorms NXT 1.0. I have made lots of programs including a program called Ball_Coaster and a program called Machine_Gun. Here you can see those two programs in action with their models. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIESUUWp42c&w=420&h=315]
