What I learnt today
Control
By using languages, you will be able to control things.
It is very important to know how to do programming.
Computer control is normally to do with:

• Robotics
• System which does their work without being controlled by human all the time.

Syntax is the same as language.
HTML is used for web pages, Java is used for gaming and Logo is used for robots. These are all commanded by Syntax.

When using logo, first thing you do is Pen Down and then turn left 90 degrees to let the turtle move towards left.
When you are programming logo, pragram it by robot's point of view, not our own point of view.

I made a small box in a box.
pd forward 100 right 90 forward 100 right 90 forward 100 right 90 forward 100 pu right 180 fd 50 left 90 fd 50 fd 10 left 90 fd 10 right 180 pd fd 10 right 90 fd 10 right 90 fd 10 right 90 fd 10 up

ADC - Analog to Digital Converter
DAC - Digital to Analog Converter
Algorithm - It is the procedure done step-by-step
Vocabulary:

• command - We do this to let the turtle move.
• argument -
• procedure - This is a code in a program which has the specific task.
• turtle - This is the thing which is commanded by us.

Basic commands:

• fd & bk - Forward and Back
• lt & rt - Left and Right

Today, I learnt that reuseability is important because if we cannot use again, then we have to use a new one again and again but if we can reuse them, we can just copy and paste. Also, I learnt that Tim Berners-Lee was the one who made HTML.

I did wrong in making the door because it is not quite in the middle.

H.W Robot

When I pressed, 'Edall', it said that it does not know what edall btn is, so i was not able to do 'to square', 'to circle', etc.

I think I will give 60 out of 100.
This is because I did not really finish what I wanted to do.
I think I got level 5.


Exam work
Peer Assessment

Self Assessment

I disagree with the peer assessed one because the person who peer assessed my work gave a point for me even though I haven't done the skill. So in reality, I only got 12 points, whereas the person who peer assessed gave me 17 points.
