    It241 - in Your Own Words Checkpoint

    The differences between analog and digital can be described as the differences between interlaced and progressive scan on an LCD or plasma TV. I remembered purchasing my very first flat-screen, a generic-branded 42” plasma TV from an online outlet about 2 years ago that had 1080i (interlaced) scan and an HDMI input. I did not do an overwhelming amount of research on the technology at the time prior to purchasing the TV, because at $650 plus shipping, it seemed too good of a deal to pass up, especially for a plasma TV that also had 1080. After about 6-7 months later, the term “you get what you paid for” comes to mind. The screen had become gooey green for some reason and the majority of the time made the TV completely unwatchable. Although this story about my purchase has nothing to do with comparing the differences between interlaced or progressive scan, I did my homework afterwards to ensure that my next purchase would be 100% compatible with my video games that supported up to 1080p.…

    In one of the week 3 discussion questions we discussed the algorithm that would be required to make a peanut butter sandwich. In this CheckPoint you will need to take that one step further and create a program design to make a peanut butter sandwiches. Below you will find a partial program design; you need to complete it by adding the pseudocode in the required areas. You need to add one repetition (loop) control structure and one decision control to complete the program design. The user will decide how many sandwiches are made; this is where the loop will be used. The user will decide if the sandwich includes jelly, and, if it does, what flavor of jelly; to keep it simple we are only allowing grape or strawberry jelly.…
