Chapter 10

Summary

            Module 10 of “The Internet” goes into deep detail of all things surrounding data, for example, data on the internet, data terminology, and data structures. Data is everywhere and can be represented numerically, textually, or symbolically. The chapter highlights theoretic or program-implemented constructs known as data structures, which are used by many computer scientists.

            Chapter 10 also describes computational thinking and computer interfaces. Computational thinking is described as a way of problem solving with a computer. I have used computational thinking first-hand in many of my programming courses I have taken here at LCCC while solving problems while writing code.

            Chapter 10 also describes multiple definitions including abstraction, pattern recognition, and also describes the basis of what a computer program is - an implementation of an algorithm on a computer by way of a computer language. I have written in C++, Java, C#, and HTML so far within my CIS degree journey.
