IDE: A program in which you can write code, compile code, debug code and do al ot more with it. It is named "integrated" because it brings together a lot of functionality. (Integrated Development Enviroment)
GUI: A way for the user to interact with a program, often with buttons and other visual elements etc. The opposite is often considered the be the "command line" (command prompt). (Graphical User Interface)
Analog vs. Digital: Sound is naturally an analog signal. An analog signal is continuous, meaning that there are no breaks or interruptions. One moment flows into the next. If you were to hum a descending note, people hearing you would be able to detect the change in pitch, but not point to specific moments when the pitch jumped from one note to the next.
Digital signals are not continuous. They use specific values to represent information. In the case of sound, that means representing a sound wave as a series of values that represent pitch and volume over the length of the recording. In a primitive digital recording of that descending note you hummed, you'd hear a single long sound as a collection of shorter sounds.
Structure: It can mean a lot, a structure for example is a component in which data can be stored. In this case however they probably mean the way your program is build up.
Control structures: As said before, it probably indicates the way the program is build up.
Here are some examples http://docs.oracle.com/cd/A87860_01/doc/...
AnalogRead/Write and DigitalRead/Write functions are probably functions that send and receive data from an external source (serial connection). Even though you could say that everything on a computer is digital, it is very possible to represent data in an analog way. If analog data is received, it will have to be read in a different way than the digital data. For this two different functions can be of use.
I hope these answers will help you with your study. Good luck!
Analog is physical or waves. An analog clock has hands. Analog sound comes in a wave form - a sound wave. Analog modems communicated via modulating signals where pitch and wave strength communicated the necessary information.
Digital communication is transmitting the signal via a signal consisting of 0 and 1's. Signal strength does not make a difference where it does in analog. With digital, as long as the signal gets through, the necessary data is transmitted.
Syntax, the structure of a language, whether a programming language or one used by people. When thinking of a spoken language, it is usually referred to as grammar.
Analog read/write: think of a vinyl record. Pits and bumps within the grooves are used to record the sound/information. The needle then transmits to signals back, reading the pits and bumps. A scratch will then interfere with the signal as does repeated use, as each time the needle traverses the album there is were and tear on the grooves and pits, over time completely eradicating them to a single but noisy groove.
Digital write/read: 0's and 1's are recorded to the media. Scratches and strength of the signal do not have an impact so long as the 0's and 1's remain intact.
I can answer only few.
Syntax - This applies both to programming languages, where the document represents source code and markup languages, where the document represents data.
IDE - Integrated Drive Electronics
GUI - Graphical User Interface
Analog - a computer program that analyzes log files from web servers
Digital - a computer handling information represented by discrete values
G0t it? Go0d!!!
Syntax: Is the language and usage of the functions and structures in program
IDE: Program that helps you write programs (integrated development environment, Eclipse is an IDE)
GUI: Graphical User interface (A window with buttons is a GUI)
Analog vs Digital: Different types of signals for input/output to peripherals
Structure: This could mean many things, but most likely how a program is constructed.. ie Object Oriented Programming follows a certain Parent Class, sub class structure
Control Structure - How you program flows... what happens line to line... If statements help define control structure for example
Greetings my savior! I am having a quiz on programming tomorrow and I'm kinda lost.
Vocabulary I'm confused about:
syntax
IDE
GUI
analog vs. digital
structure
control structure - what are these and how do I use them?
___________
These I'm kinda confused about as well
digitalWrite
analogWrite
digitalRead
analogRead
PS:We've been using Arduino if that helps with anything
