Computer Science is a class taught by Mrs. Taricco. In this class, we learn about the basics of different coding languages, such as Java and HTML, and use Eclipse to work through labs and projects. We also learn to develop our own personal websites. In my experience, the class isn’t like any other Computer Science class, the class teaches us how to apply technology into real-world situations.
I designed and implemented a graphics program that renders ten stars with randomly generated sizes, colors, and positions. This exercise was created as I was learning to implement static arrays to store and manage graphical objects in Java. Static arrays allowed me to store the locations of the points on each star to produce individual stars.

To better understand loop control and structures, I completed a computer science lab that involved generating a geometric pattern within a rectangular canvas. I wrote a program that drew lines spaced from one side of a 980 by 630-pixel rectangle to a perpendicular side. For the extra credit extension, I expanded the program to recursively reproduce smaller versions of this design within the empty space of the larger pattern.
