In CS, we cover the AP Computer Science A curriculum along with other fundamental topics. The course began with website development (this one), then progressed to learning Java. Next, we'll start the Apps For Good competition, where we'll create apps in groups to benefit our community. It's a fun class with weekly coding challenges based on what we're learning.

I enjoyed working on the Line Art program. It was fascinating to realize all the lines were straight and even more rewarding to figure out the design through various math methods before choosing the best approach. While it took a good amount of time, once I started coding each section, I only needed to adjust a few lines. The process was exciting, and seeing the design come together piece by piece was incredibly satisfying.

This assignment involved creating a federal tax rate calculator, a tool that calculates federal income tax based on taxable income. The calculator takes the user's income input, applies the relevant tax brackets and rates, and factors in filing status to determine the tax owed. This project helped me understand how taxes are calculated and provided valuable hands-on experience in coding a practical tool.
