Weekly Status Report #2

My objectives for next week are mainly focused around learning how to use visual basic - that is if the program ever gets installed properly. If it does get installed I want to do some experimenting it with it myself, not including school assignments. I will complete them first, but in any extra time, I would want to discover some aspects of the program myself. Other than that, I want to do well on out test on Monday, so I will study hard for that.

This week, we learned about the simple and extended model of the computer, including information about the input and output sources, the CPU and about memory. We also learned about different types of memory and RAM. Expanding on that concept we learned about the size of memory, ranging from bytes to yottabytes, and the conversions for them. We then learned about pseudo code and about types of software. Finally, to end the week we learned about cryptography, how how we can use the alphabet, in a mixed up order, to code and decode messages so only the sender and receiver can decipher it.

The only work left over from the week is to study for the test on Monday. The challenges I faced were when converting the different types of memory and concerning cryptography. To solve my memory conversion problem I asked a friend for help. To solve my cryptography problem I consulted the teacher.
