Study Notes
Runtime Errors in Expressions
- Division by zero causes runtime errors. Expressions that produce errors include:
-
10 // 0
-
10 / 0
-
10 / (3 - 3)
-
Basics of Programming with Python
- Python is an interpreted, object-oriented, high-level programming language.
- Known for dynamic semantics, which enhance Rapid Application Development.
- High-level built-in data structures and dynamic typing facilitate use as a scripting language.
Computer Logic Units
- Input Unit: Receives information from outside the computer.
- Output Unit: Sends processed information to external devices.
- Memory Unit: Retains information for short-term access.
- Secondary Storage Unit: Provides long-term information storage.
- Arithmetic Unit: Conducts mathematical calculations.
- Logic Unit: Performs logical decisions.
- Central Processing Unit (CPU): Coordinates activities of all logical units.
Concepts of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)
- Object: A tangible instance of a class, similar to a real-life object (e.g., a clock).
- Class: Defines properties and behaviors of an object.
- Instantiation: Creating an instance of a class.
- Instance Variables: Attributes specific to an instance.
- Inheritance: Deriving new classes from existing ones to reuse functionality.
- Encapsulation: Hiding internal states and functionalities to protect object integrity.
- Data Hiding: Concealing sensitive attributes from outside access.
Ethical Considerations in Technology
- Self-Driving Cars: Raise questions of trust, safety protocols, and ethical dilemmas like responsibilities during accidents.
- Reproducibility in Data Science: Essential for verifying research outcomes; Jupyter Notebooks enhance reproducibility through well-organized code and outputs.
Advancements in AI and Automation
- Artificial General Intelligence (AGI): Aims for machine intelligence at human capacity, raising potential ethical issues and concerns about intelligence evolution beyond human control.
- Intelligent Assistants: Like IBM Watson and Amazon Alexa, enhance everyday life but bring privacy and ethical challenges.
- AI in Healthcare: Tools using deep learning can analyze medical data; ethical concerns about machine diagnoses and trust arise.
Technologies in Organizations
- Organizations utilize various tech including:
- Python for programming.
- Big data analytics for insights.
- Cloud computing for scalability.
- Natural language processing for understanding user queries.
- Machine learning for predictive analytics.
Internet of Things (IoT)
- IoT connects diverse devices, with Raspberry Pi enabling numerous applications, enhancing digital interconnectivity.
Blockchain and Cryptography
- Blockchain: Underpins cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum; offers security and traceability.
- Cryptography in Python: Essential for protecting data privacy and security.
OWASP and Cybersecurity
- OWASP focuses on improving the security of organizations through community-driven projects that harden systems against attacks.
Mobile App Development
- Growing field with tools available for cross-platform development (e.g., BeeWare, Kivy) facilitating rapid app creation.
