Computer Science, taught by Ms. Taricco!
Course Description
Computer Science teaches coding and various tech-related ideas. The year started out by learning the HTML coding language and developing our websites. We then moved onto the Java language. The future includes designing software, and mobile app development. We also all participate in computer science contests called ACSL, and Ms. Taricco runs CyberPatriot, a cyber security competition which I participate in. The team I am on for CyberPatriot consists of 4 other MAMS juniors, and we will soon be competing in the state round. Scroll through this page to see some assignments we have completed in Computer Science this year!
This is an assignment we did completed in October titled, "Federal Tax Rate Lab". The directions were as follows, "Write a program which asks the user for their marital status and income. Decide which data types you will use to store this information. Your program will then compute the federal income tax using the tables and algorithm described above. Print the federal income tax (rounded to the nearest penny)".
This is an assignment we completed in November titled, “Line Art Program”. It was my favorite assignment so far this year because such an interesting shape can be made with only straight lines. It took quite a bit of trial and error, along with calculations, but this made small successes rewarding and the final result very satisfying.
