Description
Genetics is the study of how genes and how traits are passed down from one generation to the next. Our genes carry information that affects our health, our appearance, and even our personality!

COMPUTER PROGRAMMING
Why Programming?
You may already have used software, perhaps for word processing or spreadsheets, to solve problems.
Perhaps now you are curious to learn how programmers write software. A program is a set of step-by-step
instructions that directs the computer to do the tasks you want it to do and produce the results you want.
There are at least three good reasons for learning programming:
Programming helps you understand computers. The computer is only a tool. If you learn how to
write simple programs, you will gain more knowledge about how a computer works.
Writing a few simple programs increases your confidence level. Many people find great personal
satisfaction in creating a set of instructions that solve a problem.
Learning programming lets you find out quickly whether you like programming and whether you
have the analytical turn of mind programmers need. Even if you decide that programming is not for
you, understanding the process certainly will increase your appreciation of what programmers and
computers can do.
A set of rules that provides a way of telling a computer what operations to perform is called a
programming language. There is not, however, just one programming language; there are many. In this
chapter you will learn about controlling a computer through the process of programming. You may even
discover that you might want to become a programmer.
An important point before we proceed: You will not be a programmer when you finish reading this chapter
or even when you finish reading the final chapter. Programming proficiency takes practice and training
beyond the scope of this book. However, you will become acquainted with how programmers develop
solutions to a variety of problems.

INTRODUCTION TO JAVA
Java Environment Setup:
Java SE is freely available from the link Download Java. So you download a version
based on your operating system.
You can referto installation guide for a complete detail.
Java Basic Syntax:
Object - Objects have states and behaviors. Example: A dog has states-color,
name, breed as well as behaviors -wagging, barking, eating. An object is an
instance of a class.
Class - A class can be defined as a template/ blue print that describe the
behaviors/states that object of its type support.
Methods - A method is basically a behavior. A class can contain many methods.
It is in methods where the logics are written, data is manipulated and all the
actions are executed

INTRODUCTION TO C++ PROGRAMMING YEAR 1

First Class In C++
Adapted from : http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/tut1-1.html
Structure of a C++ program
Probably the best way to start learning a programming language is with a program. So here is our
first program:
// my first program in C++
#include <iostream.h>
int main ()
{
cout << "Hello World!";
return 0;
}
Hello World!
The left side shows the source code for our first program, which we can name, for example,
hiworld.cpp. The right side shows the result of the program once compiled and executed. The way to
edit and compile a program depends on the compiler you are using. Depending on whether it has a
Development Interface or not and on its version. Consult section compilers and the manual or help
included with your compiler if you have doubts on how to compile a C++ console program.
The previous program is the first program that most programming apprentices write, and its result is
the printing on screen of the "Hello World!" sentence. It is one of the simpler programs that can be
written in C++, but it already includes the basic components that every C++ program has. We are
going to take a look at them one by one:

• History is generally defined as remarkable human past activities and how these activities
have influenced the present.
• Education is generally defined as the transfer of knowledge, skills, values, customs and
attitudes from one person to another or from one generation to another.
• History of education is the evaluation of past educational development in the context of
social, cultural, economic, technological and political changes in human history and how
these educational developments have shaped and influenced the educational theory and
practice today.

SMA 103: ANALYTICAL GEOMETRY
Trending!
In this chapter, the Cartesian coordinate system is introduced. The distance between points, midpoints, perpendicular/parallel lines and angles between two lines are covered. The general and
point slope form of the equation of the straight line are also covered.
1.2 Lesson Learning Outcomes
By the end of this lesson, you should be able to;
1.2.1 Carry out operations on the Straight Line.
1.2.1 The Straight Line
In this work the geometrical problems considered are those that are presented on two
dimensional plane only and it is therefore important at this point to discuss the plane.
Consider any plane with a point denoted by O, which we call the point of reference or the origin.
Let line X be horizontal and pass through O and line Y be vertical and pass through O. The
horizontal line X is referred to as the x-axis and the vertical line Y is the y-axis. Distance
measured from the y-axis is referred to as an abscissa and it is positive if measured to the right
and negative if measured to the left. A vertical distance from the x-axis is called a y-ordinate and
it is positive if measured above the x-axis and negative if measured below the x-axis. Any point
on the plane can described by its abscissa and its ordinate as P(x, y), for any point P. The symbol
(x, y) represents the coordinates of the point, where x is the abscissa and y the ordinate and it is
also referred to as the Cartesian coordinates of P.
