We started looking at other types of programming languages and their advantages and disadvantages. Comparing languages is useful as we can see which ones will take a lot longer to code, which ones will be faster to run and which one will meet the personalized required solution to the "issue".
For example assembly language takes a very long time to create (disadvantage) however it runs extremely quickly (advantage).
Also we started looking at algorithms, an algorithm is a set of steps that describes how to solve a problem or how to perform a task. We did a couple of exercises to try and get us thinking in algorithms I.e. listing a task in the correct order of steps.
I have been continuing my use of codeacademy and am slowing working through the useful and important exercises.
