Intro to Programming Languages

  Having very little IT experience, this project is my first steps towards a better background in that department. It is exciting and makes me nervous at the same time as I have never used nor even read about programming languages before. This was the same for the program Scratch, but the outcome was positive and gave me a better understanding of what program coding consists of. The following is the link to my Scratch program :  https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1116622511 This was quite interesting, having never used the program Scratch, I found myself struggling a bit at first trying to figure out how all the different codes would affect the outcome. Once I had a decent grasp of that, I knew what I wanted to do but getting the figures to do it how I wanted was the challenge. The biggest challenge was getting the timing right for everything. I overcame this by simple trial and error. I would set a time for something, run the program and see if it needed to be slowed or sped up...

Ping and Traceroute

  PING Ping is used to check if a website is reachable. When pinging a website, packets are sent through the network via routers to a destination server and if it goes through without interruption, that destination sends back an acknowledgment response. That response will include data about the ping, such as the number of packets sent and the time in milliseconds that it took to send and receive back that acknowledgment response for each packet. It will also show if any of the packets sent did not make it to its destination. I pinged two different websites, one being News.com.au out in Australia and Rakuten.co.jp in Japan. Both pings sent 4 packets and none were lost as shown below.   However, I did notice that one of the packets from the Australian site took significantly longer than the other 3. The same thing happened to the website out of Japan, but the time difference wasn’t as significant. As far as the two, the Australian site took an average of 82ms and the Japanes...
