Document Summary
Chapter 4 computational strategies of representation raises these main points: computer code, regardless if in the desktop (mac, windows, linux) or a tablet, or a smart phone, represents all data, tools, icons, actions, responses is a. From the root of binary machine code, to a mnemonic symbol, to a pictograph icon, all these are representations of unique objects. The author uses pseudo code to demonstrate processes, pseudo-code is not a programming language. The computer codes, we use are synchronized standardized, automated, recording of sequences of behaviors. Any scripted behavior of an algorithm is a procedural sequence, or a set of sequences that can be invoked, either by code or by user interaction. When you use software, you are creating or manipulating information states. Typing a word, use the ascii character set. A word processor is design to allow input and editing of text. Text can be considered a state of information. A word is an element in a text.
