The current CPU that resides in my computer is an Intel(R)
Core(TM) i5-2540M CPU @ 2.60GHz, 2MB cache, 4 cores, and
8 threads
In comparison with my CPU to an Intel® Core™ i9-10980XE

Extreme Edition Processor (24.75MB Cache, Up to 4.60 GHz),
24.75 MB Cache, 18 Cores, 36 Threads, 4.60GHz Max Turbo
Frequency, XE – Extreme performance and mega-tasking,
unlocked, I found the Intel i9 CPU clock speed is almost twice
the speed of the CPU in my computer with a speed of 4.60GHz
and cache up to 24.75 MB. This means the Intel core i9 stores
more accessible data up to 24.75 MB of data on the CPU for
processing and availability which is a huge amount of space for
storing data directly on a CPU. The 18 cores also allows for
multiple simultaneous parallel data processing through (Fetch,
Decode and Execute) which increase the speed of processing
data.
Two benefits of using planning techniques to design a computer
program are, to establish a frame work Architecture to provide a
road map for implementation. Another benefit for planning is to
provide clear logics for data input, flow and output. While
flowcharts are simple with diagram, I am a detail oriented
individual and would rather use pseudocode. This is because it
efficient method that provides details for programmers. It also
allows programmers to focus on writing the algorithm. This
facilitates a layout to other programmers to follow the details
for making adjustment and or continue coding your plan. My
example is a simple program to draw a face.
// How do we get our ideas into code?

// Draw the face, an oval in the center
ellipse (width/2, height/2, 200, 300);
// Draw the two eyes, two ovals, about 2/3 up the face, and 1/5
the size of the face
ellipse (width/2 - 40, height/2 - 50, 40, 40);
ellipse (width/2 + 40, height/2 - 50, 40, 40);
// Draw the mouth, a line going halfway across the face, 1/3 the
way up

“The frequency of the Clock in the number of steps required by
each instruction determine the speed with which the computer
performs useful work” (Englander, 2014, p. 240).
The Intel Core i5-7200U has a base clock speed of 2.5 GHz and
Turbo Boost up to 3.1 GHz.
The 2.4 GHz i3-7100U lacks Turbo Boost, which is the main
reason why it lags the i5.

Pseudocode uses plain language with some code mixed in to
explain what your app does. You should use programming terms
that you know, such as loop or conditionals, and any App
Inventor components that you may want to use such as List
View or buttons. There aren’t many rules for how to write
pseudocode but the goal is to get an idea of how your app will
work before you program it.
In this app, https://technovationchallenge.org/curriculum/code-
6/, the user can search a database of women scientists. The app
displays the names in a ListView and the user can select a
scientist to learn more about her.
Search Button
When the user hits search
The app uses a for loop to search through all of the names and
descriptions stored in TinyDB
If there is a match
The app adds the scientist name to an empty list variable called
searchResults
If searchResults is empty after the loop ends
The app notifies the user that there are no matches
Else
The app displays searchResults in a ListView
Scientist Selection

When the user makes a selection from ListView1
The app opens a Screen2
The app retrieves the description and name of the scientist from
TinyDB
The app displays the description and name of the scientist
A flowchart is a diagram that represents an algorithm. It uses
shapes and arrows to show how data moves through program. It
is always read from top to bottom. Programmers use different
shapes to represent different things that can happen to the data.
Here is an example of an algorithm for finding out why
someone's stomach hurts:
In this activity you will turn your pseudocode into a flowchart.
Put an oval around the beginning and ends of your event
handler. This is called a terminal. There is often more than one
ending to a flow chart. In the search button, the event handler
ends either by displaying the search results in a list view or by
notifying the user that there are no matches.
Put a diamond around where a decision needs to be made. This
is whenever the app needs to decide true or false for a
condition. Remember, conditionals can lead to more than one
possibility for the ending.
Add a parallelogram around all the inputs in your code or the
places where you are getting data from either the user or
another place, like a website or local database.
Put a rectangle around all of the processes in your code. This is
whenever your app is doing something that doesn't fall into the
categories above. This could be adding items to a list or sending
an alert to the user.

Connect it all together with arrows! Pay special attention to
how you are drawing the arrows for loops and conditionals

NS’s post states the following:
The two computers utilized for comparison is the Dell XPS 13
and the HP Elite Book Folio 9470m. The Dell XPS 13 was
launched in 2015 and the HP Elite Book Folio 9470m was
launched in 2012. The Dell XPS CPU is Intel Core i5-6200U
Processor. The Dell XPS has a 3M Cache and up to 2.80 GHz.
While the HP Elite Book Folio CPU is Intel Core i5-3427U
Processor. The HP Elite Book Folio also has a 3M Cache and up
to 2.80 GHz. The instruction set in the Dell XPS and the HP
Elite Book Folio is 64-bit. Both CPUs have 2 cores and 4
threads. The Processor Base Frequency in the Dell XPS is 2.3
GHz with a Max Turbo Frequency of 2.8 GHz. The Processor
Base Frequency in the HP Elite Book Folio is 1.8 GHz with a
Max Turbo Frequency of 2.8 GHz. Overall, both CPU look
pretty parallel to each other. They both have 2 cores that can
run 2 threads each and run 4 processes simultaneously. The
main difference is that the Dell XPS 13 has a Processor Base
Frequency of 2.3 GHz; in which makes it run faster. Then also
the Dell XPS 13 has an Installed Memory (RAM) of 8 GB
LPDDR3 (1,866MHz) while the HP has a RAM of only 8 GB
DDR3.

When it comes to utilizing Pseudocode and Flowcharts it all
depends on the viewers. The (2) most common ways of planning
a solution to a problem are to draw a flowchart and to write
pseudocode. A flowchart is a pictorial representation of an
algorithm. On the other hand, a pseudocode is an informal high-
level description of an algorithm. A pseudocode is not
executable on the computer. Algorithms are used in computer
programming; in which are a set of instructions given to the
computer to perform certain tasks. Thus, pseudocode and
flowchart are two methods of representing an algorithm
(University of Rhode Island, 2019). I would have to say a
flowchart is best used for an audience that are beginners and
don’t know about coding. The reason for that is because
flowcharts have pictures and an organization that show step by
step directions. Flowcharts are easy to read, understand, and
follow. Whereas, pseudocode is a more complex way of
planning and would be used on those who have a little more
understanding with coding being it does not use pictures, it is in
English-like nonstandard language.

Changes are inevitable, therefore For every business to succeed

things need to be done in a faster and orderly way: making
de3cision in a faster way, getting the goods to the market in the
fastest means possible can be of much help.
There are various ways in which the business can do so that it
can be agile and be able to respond to the changes ..first,
creation of focus.every business should have a reason why it is
doing what i8s doing, this focus will help the business to
achieve its goals. when deadline is set ,the business will be
effective and more productive, as it willing be focusing on
certain work to get finished before time is due.lack of focusing
towards achievement of a certain goal results to ineffectiveness
in the work done .the managers and employees will not be
effective as their mind will also be away from what there are
doing, this is because they don't have a focus.
Second, communicating a big picture of the workers
is very important. some employees are not receptive to changes
.therefore the employers should ensure that they explain the end
goal that they are targeting to achieve. the employees will
understand the importance of the changes to the business and
they will be ready to embrace the change.it is crystal clear that
when employees have no idea of the direction of the business,
there will be challenges in the workplace, such as lack of full
engagement in the business, poor attendance to the customers,
Third, planning for emergency.the management should
build flexibility in their planning and various processes to
accommodate changes in their business. for example,
organizational culture can be built so that it can respond to
unexpected events that occur.this will help minimize any
potential loss of properties belonging to the company.
