Control Programs

A control program is basically a computer system which receives data from sensors and sends it to the output device, after being converted by the data converter box. Computers are now used to control many things such as heating system, burgal alarm, traffic lights, etc.

Computer Control is:

• Robotic
• System that works without human
• Automatic System

Computer control is similar to other Syntax (computer languages) such as Java, HTML, etc.

Exam




peer assesment


self-assessment:

It would be the same as Soha's.
I agree with Soha
I should have grouped the layers which I forgot to do. Other than that, there was only one point left - attaching text to paths.
