CSE 203 Homework 6
You may complete this homework, as any homework in this course, either
alone as an individual, or in partnership with one other person.
Please make sure every author's name is listed at the top.
The images and sounds you have been using in your programs are stored digitally. Of course, your programs are stored digitally, too. With the help of some on-line encyclopedia articles whose Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) are listed below, answer the question: What do "digital" and "analog" mean? Feel free to discuss this question in the Carmen Discussion Forum. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition (2001-05) is available at Bartelby.com. There, one can find the article "computer" at Bartleby.com/65/co/computer.html. The two sections of this article entitled "Analog Computers" and "Digital Computers" are especially helpful with this question. These sections refer to two other articles, "analog circuit" (Bartleby.com/65/an/analogci.html) and "digital circuit" (Bartleby.com/65/di/digitlcir.html), which are pertinent to this question. Now, an encyclopedia article is a third-level, or tertiary, source; please note that a "Bibliography" section at the bottom of the "computer" (Bartleby.com/65/co/computer.html) article points the way to secondary and primary sources. It is not a requirement of this assignment that you consult these secondary and/or primary sources; it is a good idea, of course, to be aware of the status of your source of information.
