Computer Science, taught by Ms. Taricco, focuses on the mastery of Java and other aspects of coding. At the beginning of the year, we learned about HTML and CSS and used them to code our websites. Next, during A and B term, we worked on a multitude of Java projects and labs: creating a Bulgarian solitaire, validating credit card numbers, and calculating a user's salary. During C term, we will create an app that will help solve a problem in society. For the students who previously completed AP Computer Science or scored well on the Computer Science pre-assessment, they get to work on an independent CS project.
One topic we covered in our Java unit during A and B term was ArrayLists. I personally enjoyed this unit because working with arrays wasn't too complex or difficult. One assignment we did with Array Lists was creating a Bulgarian Solitaire, where we coded the shuffling and process of playing Bulgarian solitaire with the input of a triangular number.

During the year, we also focused on Graphic Art and Line Art. Below is an assignment I completed in class that allowed us to create a drawing using Line Art properties, and then create a smaller version on the inside. Trouble viewing the PDF? Click here!
