Announcements

• Special class tomorrow
• No class on Thursday
• No section this week
• Quiz submission:
  -sorry about the troubles submitting (even we have bugs in our code!)
  -follow the instructions on the announcement to submit your quiz to paperless

• We are very lucky to be joined by people who were in your shoes not too long ago
• They are going to share with us their experience in CS and what they are currenlty working on
• Then we can ask them any questions
• Form to Enter your Questions

CS106A Optional Challenge Winners

• Thank you to everyone who participated
• Tara and I were blown away by all of the submissions
• We picked a winner and a runner up for the two categories
• Algorithmic Winners.....
• Aesthetic Winners......

Life Beyond CS106A

• You all have your own identities and goals
• CS is a versatile tool
• What is life beyond CS106A?
• Learn more so that you can express yourself

Different Areas of CS

• So many different areas of CS
  -Databases
  -Networking
  -Security
  -HCI (Human Computer Interaction)
  -Graphics
  -Robotics
  -Machine Learning
  -Natural Language Processing
  -And many more

Juliette's Life Beyond CS106A

• I love learning CS
• I also love teaching CS
• CS is powerful, how cool is it to show other people how to use this powerful tool !
• Juliette's Path in CS
  -CS106A Freshman year at Stanford
  -Section leading and more CS courses
  -Head TA for CS106A, started Master's, started doing research
  -Teaching CS106A this summer with all of you :)
• But, that is just me. I am excited to see what all of you can do after CS106A

How to Make Your Own Project

• We have given you starter code for the assignments this quarter
• But, Python is a great language where you can easily start projects from scratch
• Create your own project in Pycharm
• Create your own project outside of Pycharm

What Do Other Programming Languages Look Like?

• There are many programming languages:
  -Java
  -C++
  -C
  -JavaScript
  -SQL
  -Ruby
  -MATLAB
  -Assembly
  -Scratch
  -So many more..
• Let's see some of them!

Python

    
# Python
evens = []
for i in range(100):
    if i % 2 == 0:
        evens.append(i)
print(evens)
    

C++

    
# C++
Vector< double > evens;
for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
    if(i % 2 == 0) {
        evens.add(i);
    }
  }
count << evens << endl;
    

Java

ArrayList< Double > evens = new ArrayList();
    for(int i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
        if(i % 2 == 0) {
            evens.add(i);
        }
    }
println(evens);

JavaScript

var evens = []
    for(var i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
        if(i % 2 == 0) {
            evens.push(i)
        }
    }
console.log(evens)
