An Outlet for Inquisitive Minds
[Synthesis with "Nomenclatures of Invisibility" by Mahtem Shiferraw] This poem resonates with Brother Clifton’s last moments and what his actions near the end meant. There are two things to be considered when talking about what happened when the IM sees Brother Clifton for the last time. One side says that Brother Clifton, by trying to sell... Continue Reading →
So, recursion, one of the hardest units in APCS. The concept is pretty easy but the execution is a bit trickier. Today, I'm going to pass on a trick that my teacher taught me on how to trace your way through a recursion problem. I'm going to assume that y'all already know what recursion is... Continue Reading →
Side Note: I don't know if my little notes on the margins are entirely correct but the diagrams should be. If in doubt, always refer to your textbook or ask the teacher. This is one of the harder units along with genetics. Good luck!
Alright, it's time to tackle 2D arrays and arrayLists. 2D arrays are basically arrays of arrays. First off, 2D arrays: 2D Arrays To start off with, the declaration and instantiation. Since 2D arrays are objects, we will use the new operator. There are several ways to do this: The "normal" way:data type [] [] name = new data type... Continue Reading →
Sorting methods as it pertains to arrays isn't the simplest thing to wrap your head around but the concept and the way they should work should be pretty intuitive. You would need to know about two main sorting methods in APCS; the selection sort and the insertion sort. Like the different types of loops, both of these... Continue Reading →
Arrays are basically lists of things. This list can contain both objects and primitive data. The basic array can be declared and instantiated as such: (data type)[ ] (arrayname) = new (data type) [(number of elements)]; Since arrays are considered as objects, the declaration and instantiation follow the pattern of other objects. So, if I... Continue Reading →
This lab review goes over three labs within Chapter 2: the base conversion lab, the circle lab and the string manipulation lab. Even if you aren't an AP Comp Sci student, if you are learning Java and want some practice, these lab reviews are a good resource. Chapter 2 covers the concept of objects and primitive data.
Welcome y’all. So, as you all should know, there are three essays that you need to write for AP Lang. Synthesis Argumentative Rhetorical Analysis Synthesis If you’ve taken an AP history class, then you are in for an easy ride. Synthesis is exactly like the DBQ except a whole lot easier because you’re only... Continue Reading →
*This Experimental Design was a project for an AP Psych class so it's not representative of what a real experimental design looks like. This design also ties into a previous article on the site that goes over tbe subject of the study a little less formally. This design was based off of said article, actually.... Continue Reading →
Everything's fairly straightforward. You have 55 multiple choice questions that are stimulus-based. With general knowledge about the trends and important events in US History, you should do just fine. I didn't study at all for the exam and I was totally fine. That said, that doesn't mean you shouldn't study but the exam is going to... Continue Reading →
TL;DR -- Basically, I made a game on code.org for my AP Computer Science Principles (APCSP) class and it's a maze game and I've included the code for it, which can give you a couple of ideas for your own creations and serve as an example, and I've also included a video that shows you...
