Computer science is taught by Ms.Tarrico. In this class, we started off by learning about web development and coding in HTML and CSS. After that, we began learning the Java programming language through labs and exercises, which were often challenging and covered topics such as Arrays, Arraylists, Iteration, and Decisions. Most of the curriculum aligns with the AP Computer Science A course. Along with this, we participate in the American Computer Science League (ASCL) competition throughout the year.
The Line Art Program incorporated loop control structures and Graphics methods to develop a curved design consisting of only straight lines. I enjoyed working on this assignment as it required a lot of trial and error and watching the design come together at the end was really rewarding.
The Federal Tax Rate Program used selection control structures to determine how much federal tax one must pay based on their marital status and income. To test my program, I used JUnit test cases to ensure that every unique situation is accounted for, which makes the program effective and useful for a variety of people.
