title: Divide and conquer algorithm

paragraphs: The Divide and Conquer algorithm (also called the Divide and Conquer method) is a basis for many popular sorting algorithms. An algorithm is simply a series of steps to solve a problem. The general idea of divide and conquer is to take a problem and break it apart into smaller problems that are easier to solve.

paragraphs: This idea can be seen in many popular algorithms. A helpful way to think of this idea, would be when a person looks through a dictionary. For example, if they are looking for the word “Dog”, and land on a page with the word “Firetruck”, the person knows that all the pages to the right of firetruck will not contain dog. They know this because D comes before F in the alphabet. This logic allows a person to spend less time searching, because every time they arrive on a page with the wrong letter, they know that they can eliminate the pages to their right or their left. This is an example of diving a problem up into smaller pieces. If one were to apply this concept in programming, one might start with an ordered list. If they wanted to search through that list, they would start near the center of that list. Simple logic would determine if the desired element is to the right or the left of the middle element, or in some cases it may even be the middle element. From there, each time this algorithm searches, it decreases the size of the list by half. This makes searching through the list extremely efficient.

title: While loop

paragraphs: In computer science, a while loop is a statement which is used to execute code repeatedly based on a condition. Simply, it can be thought of as a repeating if statement.

paragraphs: The while loop consists of two parts: the condition and a block of code. The condition is evaluated and if it is true, the block of code is executed. This repeats until the condition evaluates to false. As a pre-test loop, the while loop checks the condition before the block is executed. In contrast, the do-while loop checks the condition "after" the loop has executed. A while loop would typically be used when you don't know the number of times you would like to loop over the block of code. Instead, code would continue looping until a particular condition is met. When the number of times a loop is to be executed is already known before the execution of the loop, a for loop would be a better choice.

paragraphs: A template of a while loop is shown below:

paragraphs: Example code in the C programming language is shown below.

paragraphs: In this example, the loop first checks to see if the variable x is less than 5. Because it is, it will enter the loop, printing the value of x and then increment x by 1. After completing the code block, it will continue to repeat the code block until x is equal to 5. When x is equal to five, the condition evaluates to false and the code exits the while loop.

paragraphs: A loop that continues repeating forever is possible if the condition is always true. When this happens, it is up to the developer to create a statement to exit the loop. An example of this is shown below:

paragraphs: In the above example, the condition while always be true. To exit the loop, a break statement is used when a specific condition inside the loop evaluates to true.


title: For loop

paragraphs: In computer science, a for-loop (or “for loop”) is used to run specified lines of code repeatedly. In different languages, there are different keywords to specify this statement—ways to identify a for loop—but they all do the same task. Most languages use either “for” or “do” as keywords.

paragraphs: A for-loop has two parts: a header, and a body of code. The body consists of a set of instructions (lines of code) that run for each repetition of the loop. The header often declares how many loops to compete, generally indicated by either a loop counter or a loop variable. For-loops are typically used when the number of repetitions are known. For-loops are similar to “while-loops”, but usually have a known number of repetitions.

paragraphs: This for loop prints outs "Hello, world!" ten times.

paragraphs: The name for-loop comes from the English word for, which is the direct translation of the earlier German "für", used by Heinz Rutishauser, who also helped define ALGOL 58 and 60.

paragraphs: In computer science, a loop counter is a variable that controls how many repetitions the loop will do. Usually, the loop counter variable is an integer value that increments by 1 for each completed loop. However, loop counters can also decrement, and can have step sizes other than 1.

paragraphs: Loop counters change each iteration. With each repeat, there is unique counter value. The loop counter is the deciding factor for when a loop should end and go onto the next section of code.

paragraphs: Common identifier names for loop counters are i, j, and k(and so on, if needed).

paragraphs: A for-loop is available in most common programming languages. While for-loops in different languages will all fulfill the same task, there are differences on how each programming language deals with for loops.

title: Boolean data type

paragraphs: A Boolean data type is a data type that can be either one of these two values: true or false. The boolean data type was originally added to the C++ language by the ISO/ANSI(International Standards Organization/American National Standards Organization) committee in 1998. Type bool expressions are named after the English mathematician George Boole, who formulated rules for mathematical logic. Boolean expressions also end up with a value of either true or false. Boolean expressions are used in branching and looping statements. In programming, a boolean can be used with conditional statements (statements that only happen when the right condition is met).

title: Canadian Eskimo Dog

paragraphs: The Canadian Eskimo Dog is an Arctic breed of working dog. Another name for it is "qimmiq", and it was brought to North America from Siberia by the Thule people.


title: Refresh rate

paragraphs: A refresh rate is simply the amount of images shown on a screen per second. The general specs one will see for it will be 60 Hz, or 120 Hz. It is measured in Hz which is a measurement of frequency. In this case, 60 Hz will denote that the frequency at which pictures are shown for that screen is 60 images per second. It is a common property of monitors or televisions and it will dictate the maximum frames per second (fps) that the system is able to put out. For example, having a game running at 128 fps will show no improvements if the screen it's being played on has a refresh rate of 60 Hz. In that case, the screen can't keep up with how fast the game wants to show images, so it will default at 60 fps as it's fastest speed.

paragraphs: As the refresh rate of a screen is increased, the amount of images shown is doubled and there are more noticeable changes in terms of picture quality. Depending on what's being displayed on the screen, the jump from 60 Hz to 120 Hz is the line between whether or not you're going to be able to see motion blur when pictures are moving too fast for the screen to handle. But commonly, most streaming services and television shows will run at a maximum of 60 Hz, so unless one plans to do extensive gaming and wants optimal visuals, having a screen with a 60 Hz refresh rate will do the trick for most cases.

title: Procedural animation

paragraphs: Procedural animation refers to rule-based or algorithmic method of creating computer graphics animation.

paragraphs: With traditional animation method, every principal animation poses are specified by an animator at a specific point in the animation timeline. By setting these poses, an animator can artistically direct how the geometry will be framed in some key events. These poses are in the same sense as how a person may pose for photography session. Note that every shapes and objects in computer graphics are considered as "geometry". With key events specified, the animation software will then automatically fill the intermediary motions between key points, thereby creating continuous motion throughout the timeline without requiring additional works by an animator.

paragraphs: "Procedural animation" is a rule-base approach to creating animations. These rules are typically some form of mathematical or statistical functions which tell the animation software how an object is to be animated. In order for the geometry to be animated, these functions typically require some form of time-based variable as its input. Therefore, one can apply a chain of logical rules and algorithms to create animations without manually specify any key poses.

paragraphs: In computer graphics, "modeling" refers to an act of digitally sculpting a model. As one creates rule-based animation, "procedural modeling" then refers to same rule-based, algorithmic approach to creating geometry. Procedural modeling differs from procedural animation in that time-based variable is not required.

paragraphs: Amongst some group of animators within computer graphics industry, procedural modeling and animation method is also known as "proceduralism".

paragraphs: In order to maximize artistic impact of their craft, animators employ traditional animation techniques to set pose manually at a specific point in time. When the objects to be animated become significantly more complex, traditional animation techniques may not be feasible. Therefore, "proceduralism" offers significant advantage as complexities increase significantly. While "proceduralism" enables its practitioners to create infinite variation of models and animations, specific key pose is often left as random chance. Therefore, computer graphics animator must decide between the combinations of both techniques in order to achieve the desired outcome.

paragraphs: "Procedural animation" is used extensively in visual effects for movie and gaming industry where animation data and geometry must be generated with certain random probability in order to simulate physical world.


title: Pygame

title: Digital light processing

paragraphs: Digital light processing (DLP) projector is a kind of video projector. It uses small mirrors that reflect light. The mirrors can be moved to either reflect light or not reflect light. The mirrors move very fast. When the mirror reflects light more often, it makes a lighter color. When the mirror reflects light less often, it makes a darker color. DLP projectors can be bright and have a high resolution. This can make the picture look better. DLP projectors can be small so they can be moved more easily. Some DLP projectors are small enough to fit in a smartphone. Big DLP projectors are often used in movie theaters.

paragraphs: DLP projectors use a digital micromirror device (DMD) to make the picture. A DMD is made of many very small mirrors. The mirrors are in a grid on a semiconductor. Each mirror makes a small part of the picture, called a pixel. The resolution increases when the DMD has more mirrors.

paragraphs: The mirrors can be moved so they reflect light through the lens or reflect light somewhere else. When mirror reflects light through the lens, the pixel is light. When the mirror reflects light somewhere else, the pixel is dark. The mirrors move much faster than a person can see. When the mirror spends more time reflecting light through the lens, the pixel is lighter. When the mirror spends more time reflecting light somewhere else, the pixel is darker.


title: User interface design

paragraphs: User interface design (UI) or user interface engineering is the design of our machines and software interface such as the interface of your computer, printer, phones, etc. It helps the user interact with the system in order to increase the user experience and enhance efficiency.

paragraphs: Good user interface never draws useless attention and always finish the tasks first. A good format can help the user perform right interactions and a good graphic design can help the user focus on the function in the system. During the design process, we must balance the functions and visual effects to create a stable, adaptable, and functional system for users.

paragraphs: Interface design is applied in many different areas such as computers, to cars, to planes. Even though most of these areas have similar human interactions, we still need special skills to accomplish the design goals. That is why designers are usually specialized in some areas than others in order to make the best efforts out of themselves.


title: Alpha-beta pruning

paragraphs: Alpha-beta pruning is a Search algorithm that tries to remove options that it can take. This algorithm is commonly used for a computer to play two player games, such as chess, go, and checkers. The algorithm stops analyzing a move when it finds another possible move that is proven to be better, and that move will not be analyzed again. This algorithm is a modification of .

paragraphs: The algorithm keeps track of two values, Alpha and Beta, and assigns "points" to possible moves where the greater the amount of points a move has, the higher chance that choosing that move will lead to victory. Alpha represents the minimum amount of points the player the algorithm wants to win can have(the maximizing player), while beta is the maximum amount of points the algorithm wants to lose can have(the minimizing player). Alpha and Beta start as negative infinity and infinity respectively. Whenever a move is found such that the maximizing player's score improves or the minimizing player's score decreases, then Alpha and Beta will be replaced with those new values.

paragraphs: In the best case, the complexity of the algorithm is O(formula_1) while the worst case is O(formula_2) where b is the branching factor, that is how much each move splits into future options on average, and d is the depth, as in on average how many possible moves are made into the game.

He has also recorded with Valhalla, Royal Flush, Forty Thieves, Forgotten Realm, FireWölfe and Revolution Highway. Fefolt was also briefly the singer for Fifth Angel.

paragraphs: Fefolt first made a name for himself with Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania based group Valhalla who started out as a high school cover band called Snowblind in 1979 before changing their name to Armageddon in 1980 when they began to write original material after recruiting Fefolt. Valhalla released a self-titled 6-song mini-album in 1984 on their own label. The record has since become a collector’s item in underground circles and was re-issued in 2001 by No Remorse as ‘’Return of the Mystic Warrior’’ (including the 1985 demo as bonus tracks) in 2003 by Unisound as ‘’Valhalla’’, and again in 2017 by Cult Metal Classics as part of the 2-disc ‘’Ultimate Anthology 84-86’’. Valhalla moved to Phoenix, AZ in November of 1985 but broke up soon thereafter.

paragraphs: Fefolt made his way to Los Angeles, CA after receiving an offer from guitarist Doug Marks to join his band Hawk whose eponymous debut album was released in 1986. The album also featured future Guns N’ Roses member Matt Sorum on drums.

paragraphs: Fefolt next joined Italian guitarist Alex Masi in his namesake band Masi in time for the band’s 1988 sophomore album, ‘’Downtown Dreamers’’. The video for the single “God Promised A Paradise” was in heavy rotation on MTV.

paragraphs: Later that same year, Fefolt would join forces with former Accept guitarist Jörg Fischer, bassist Rex Tennyson (Hellion, Heavy Bones), drummer Reynold Carlson (Jag Panzer, Joey Tafolla), and guitarist Roy Z (Bruce Dickinson, Tribe of Gypsies) in a new band called Royal Flush. The band soon parted ways with Fischer and after cutting some demos fell apart when Z and Carlson left to join vocalist Rob Rock in Driver. Fefolt was offered a solo deal with Polydor Records in Germany, backed by an all-German band, re-named Bourbon Street, but ultimately decided against it and returned to the U.S..

paragraphs: In 1990, Fefolt teamed up with former Keel bassist Kenny Chaisson and former Britton guitarist Jim McMellen in the band Forty Thieves, with former London/D’Priest drummer Tim Yasui, aka Timothy Jay, completing the initial line-up which would record a 3-song demo in 1991. A second demo was recorded with drummer Bob Milan (ex-Surgical Steel, Lydian) but the band split up in 1993 when no record contract was forthcoming.

paragraphs: Following the demise of Forty Thieves, Fefolt returned to Phoenix and retired from music. He would not be heard from again until he was reported to be working on demos with Fates Warning drummer Mark Zonder and guitarist/keyboardist Wayne Findlay of the Michael Schenker Group in 2005. Fefolt was then contacted by guitarist Matthew Mills and asked to sing for his project Forgotten Realm whose debut album, ‘’Power And Glory’’, surfaced in June 2008.

paragraphs: Fefolt and Forgotten Realm drummer Rhino, formerly with Manowar, decided to join forces in a band of their own, Angels of Babylon, with Megadeth bassist David Ellefson and guitarist Ethan Brosh completing the line-up. The group’s debut album, ‘’Kingdom of Evil’’, was released worldwide in 2010.

paragraphs: In January 2011, Fefolt was announced as the new lead vocalist for reformed Seattle melodic metal band Fifth Angel and only weeks later Fefolt would officially leave Angels of Babylon. His brief tenure with Fifth Angel, which yielded some demos, ended in mid-2011 when he left the band along with drummer Jeffrey McCormack.

paragraphs: Fefolt’s next venture was FireWölfe featuring the guitar duo of Nick Layton and Paul Kleff, bassist Zach Uidl, and drummer Jay Schellen (Hurricane, World Trade, Asia) whose eponymous debut was released in July 2011. Fefolt would quit the band in the spring of 2012 stating, “I've been a Christian most of my life and I feel the time is right for creating music that truly glorifies God.” However, in a surprise move, Fefolt was back behind the mic with FireWölfe for their 2014 sophomore album, ‘’We Rule the Night’’, which was originally slated to be mixed by Fefolt’s old Royal Flush band mate Roy Z. Fefolt quit the band a second time citing a lack of passion for creating more music and wanting to focus on his family.

paragraphs: After a period of inactivity, Fefolt re-surfaced again with hard rockers Revolution Highway, led by Greek guitarist Stavros Papadopoulos, whose self-titled debut album was released in late 2018.

title: 5G

paragraphs: 5G is the fifth generation network of cellular mobile communications, first launched in March of 2019. 5G uses many new technologies that make it faster than 4G. 5G currently can get between 100 Mbit/s and 2 Gbit/s depending on the frequency that is used. It is eventually to replace 4G,

paragraphs: There are three main groups of frequencies used by 5G:

paragraphs: Lowband 5G is a type of 5G that uses low frequencies, just as 4G does. Lowband 5G has long range (meaning you can be far away from a tower or inside a building and still get signal) but slower speeds than other types of 5G. Lowband 5G is only a little bit faster than LTE. Lowband 5G usually has speeds of around 100 Mbit/s.

paragraphs: Midband 5G is a type of 5G that uses frequencies slightly higher than lowband 5G. It has shorter range than lowband 5G, but you can usually still get service indoors using midband 5G. Midband 5G is much faster than LTE. Midband 5G usually has speeds of 600 Mbit/s to 1 Gbit/s.

paragraphs: mmWave 5G is a type of 5G that uses frequencies much higher than lowband and midband. It has very short range. With mmWave, you can't get service inside buildings. Most solid objects can block mmWave. mmWave is much faster than any other type of 5G and can reach speeds of up to 2 Gbit/s currently. mmWave is considered the least practical version of 5G since the range is so short and basically anything can block it.

paragraphs: 4G phones do not work on 5G. To use 5G, you need a phone that supports it. Most 5G phones have "5G" at the end of the phone's name.

paragraphs: There are concerns from conspiracy theorists that 5G might cause cancer or COVID-19. Scientists have found these theories to not be true.
