Lesson 2: History and Basics
Assignment Instructions
There are many important people and events that led to our modern computer. You will create a timeline that illustrates the ones you feel are most significant.
Assignment
Discussion Post
Prompt:
Binary Code Translations: You'll be given a series of binary code strings. Your task is to translate these binary sequences into their corresponding text characters using an ASCII table. Each binary string corresponds to a character (letter, number, punctuation, or symbol) in the ASCII character set.
Post:
1.Hello
2.This is a binary code
3. I love data
Those are the results I got from the binary code. I approached this task by finding a ACII table then looked for the right Binary numbers. I started by finding the first 1 from left to right then I knew that the symbol I was looking for was after this symbol I continued this till I was out of numbers. The challenges I encountered was that it took a long time to do. As I kept having to look from this screen to my table and vise versa. I lost my spot multiple times and had to redo the translation. This activity reinforced the role of binary code in digital computing for me by showing that everything in a computer is just made up by 1's and 0's even though when I code in python and I write words it is just being changed into 1's and 0's
This week I created a timeline that illustrated the timeline that lead to the modern computer. I also did a discussion post about translating binary code and how I translated the code.
