Depends really. Have you got prior coding experience? The semantics of certain languages are much easier to pick up if you've had prior experience, but it might seem impossible to someone who has minimal experience.
Assuming that you're no older than 15 or 16, I'm going to suggest Python. It's a simple, high-level language that's easier to understand than most languages. If you think you've got enough experience to quickly understand and pick up things, then I'd probably say R is a good language to start with. It's very well-suited for AI and tends to be a favourite for AI researchers.
Like a DVD and stuff like that.
Answer:
1. A high level algorithm for cooking a cheeseburger could be:
- Heat fry pan
- Cook one side of the hamburger
- Wait
- Turn hamburger upside down
- Put cheese over hamburger
- Wait
- Cut hamburger bread in half
- Put cooked hamburger inside bread
- End (eat)
2. A detailed algorithm for cooking a cheeseburger could be:
- Place fry pan over the stove heater
- Turn on heater (max temp)
- IF fry pan not hot: wait, else continue
- Place raw hamburger on fry pan
- IF hamburger not half cooked: Wait X time then go to line 5, else continue
- Turn hamburger upside down
- Put N slices of cheese over hamburger
- IF hamburger not fully cooked: Wait X time then go to line 8, else continue
- Turn off heater
- Cut hamburger bread in half horizontally
- Put cooked hamburger on one of the bread halves.
- Put second bread half on top of hamburger
- End (eat)
Explanation:
An algorithm is simply a list of steps to perform a defined action.
On 1, we described the most relevant steps to cook a simple cheeseburger.
Then on point 2, the same steps were taken and expanded with more detailed steps and conditions required to continue executing the following steps.
In computational terms, we used pseudo-code for the algorithm, since this is a list of actions not specific to any programming language.
Also we can say this is a structured programming example due to the sequential nature of the cooking process.
The answer would be
C. It adds visual effects when you move from one slide to another.
Hope this has helped you! :)
By looking at your code, it seems like you're trying to let the user enter positive numbers until the user enters a negative number. To achieve this, you need to indent int(input("Enter a number, negative to stop")) inside the loop.
The second answer choice is correct.
