    Some similarities in these programs are that there are specific words you cannot use in each language. These words are generally reserved for some other part of the language and if the is not some kind of distinction between the words this will cause an error. Though these languages have minor similarities they differ in the same way, some are case sensitive while others are not. They also say that most variables should begin with a letter but in two of these programs they can begin with an underscore and in Java you can use a dollar sign as well. Another key difference is the length of the variable name, in Visual Basic you are limited to a length of 255 characters while the other two have no restrictions on length. So for each language there are minor similarities and differences but in order to program in any of these languages you must know these rules in order to prevent errors from…

    When the activity was first assigned each member of the group was assigned a different part of the assignment. For, my part in the assignment I was assigned to complete the evaluation tool. The other three members were assigned one of the other three parts left in the activity. When, it came to deciding the activity we each came up with an idea, but then we eventually decided that we would do softball. After that, during the process there were group meetings held to figure the best way for the activity to be run, and how each member was doing with their part of the assignment. I was a little confused with the fact that I wasn’t assigned more work to do. In my opinion, I felt that I could’ve done more than just the evaluation tool I wanted to contribute more to the group. Beyond that, it confused me that during the activity, it took us a while to decide to let each batter have a runner with and…

    The problem that our product intends to solve is keeping people’s food and beverages the temperature they want on the go. Hot food can go cold and cold food can get too hot, forcing people to quickly find a fridge or microwave to heat or warm up their foods. Even then, things can go wrong, such as food going bad such as mayonnaise, and ice cream melting to a liquid. The lunchboxes of today are pretty much exactly the same as they would have been 50 years ago, with no major advancements in a food carrying case which is so widespread for people to bring in food from home. Our product will change the game on how people carry their lunches, especially in the winter and summer months. Our battery powered composite heater and refrigeration system will allow people’s lunches to be conveniently heated or cooled. It will even make it possible to bring ice cream from home.…
