What is the Internet?

A global network of interconnected devices communicating using various protocols, like TCP/IP.

Why are open protocols important for the Internet?

Open protocols allow different devices to communicate and exchange data seamlessly, regardless of their manufacturer.

What is a Network?

A collection of interconnected devices that can share resources and communicate with each other. Think of it as a group of connected machines!

What is the relationship between the World Wide Web and the Internet?

The World Wide Web is like a vast library of information, using the Internet (the network) as its delivery system.

How are messages transmitted over the Internet?

Messages are broken down into small packets of data, each containing a destination address. These packets are then routed independently across the network.

Packet Ordering in Network Transmission

Packets are the small units a message is broken into for transmission over a network. These packets must be received in the same order they were sent for the message to be correctly assembled by the recipient.

What is output by the following code?

set a to 75

repeat 5 times

change a by -5

say a

The code will repeatedly subtract 5 from the variable 'a' and then output the value of 'a'. Since it repeats 5 times, the final output will be 65.

Study Notes

Internet and Networks

  • The Internet is a collection of networks.
  • Networks are a group of devices connected by cable, WiFi, or satellite.
  • Open protocols are used to standardize data transmission across devices on the internet.
  • Open protocols ensure equal bandwidth for all users and secure data transmission.
  • The World Wide Web is a system of interconnected pages, programs, and files accessed via the Internet.

Programming Concepts

  • If statements: Used to evaluate conditions and execute specific code based on the outcome.
  • Loops (iteration): Used to repeat a section of code. Can be based on a condition or a set number of times.
  • Variables: Used to store data that can change in programming.
  • Data types: There are different types of data a variable can hold. A variable used to store a person's age should be a Number.

Lists

  • Lists are a way to store multiple values.
  • Lists are dynamic, meaning their size can change.
  • Lists are easily manipulated using loops.

Additional Information

  • Programming languages: SNAP!, Java, Python, and Assembly are examples. Certain programming languages are relatively easier to learn for beginners, like SNAP!.
  • Fault tolerance: Network fault tolerance relies on multiple paths between devices, allowing for routing to occur even if one part of the network is down.
