Document Summary
Halo effect in psychology is the cognitive bias where one particular trait, especially good characteristics, influence or extends to other qualities of the person. Lindgaard et al. 2006 at the human oriented technology laboratory found that participants in their studies could form reliable impressions of a website in 50 milliseconds. Images: each image can also be represented by rows and columns of pixels: example (255,0,0),(255,255,0),(0,255,0),(0,255,255)= red, yellow, green, Programming fundamentals: six basic elements of programs, output (o, variables (v) Input (i: calculations (c, decisions (d, repetition (r, output: the information or result generated by a computer program. Any meaningful program will have some sort of output. The result of the program: variables: hold values that the program needs to work with. The variables can be constant, but more often, variables are manipulated by the program and therefore change: input: information supplied to the computer program. This is what we want the program to work on to provide us with some output.
