Status Update 1

Lecture 0 was the introduction to the course and it covered simple basic concepts about computer science. I was able to review my knowledge of the binary number system that uses a base of 2 instead of 10 (the normal number system). In addition, the lecture briefly explained bits/bites, the alphabet system (ASCCI & Unicode), and the color system (r, g, b). the larger concepts about programming and algorithm were covered and I got a refresher on functions and different coding statements. 

​

After completing the lecture, I started problem set 0 which was assigned on scratch. Though the programming was simple, I struggled with the usage of variables. The variables in scratch were different from the variables I used in processing, thus, I watched extra videos to familiarize myself with scratch variables.
