Computer Science

Computer Science is taught by Mrs. Taricco. The course begins with web development, where we learn to code using HTML and CSS. We then transition into Java programming through labs and exercises that cover topics such as arrays, ArrayLists, iteration, and decision-making. Many of these assignments are challenging and closely align with the AP Computer Science A curriculum. In addition, students participate in the American Computer Science League (ACSL) competition throughout the year.

Line Art

This program creates an optical illusion that looks like curved arcs, but it is actually made entirely of straight lines. I used for loops with Java Applet drawing tools to generate the repeated line patterns that form this effect. Having trouble viewing the file? See here!

Stars

Stars is another AWT program, but this time it uses static arrays rather than for loops. The program creates ten stars with random sizes and locations, resulting in a different arrangement each time the code is run.
