It helps to have a basic math education. Most programming does not require using math at all. The calculations a lot of the time built into the programming code and is done for you

Is 122 on a IQ test good for an 9 year old?
yes. that's really good. from what i know about 100 is average and 130+ is quite clever and that is for adults so if your 9 that's really good.
Why is indentation important in c progaming?
indentation is good for all programming languages 1) it shows levels of nesting, nested if statements , for loops, etc 2) anyone reading your code can tell whats executing inside of what 3) It shows scope. If everything is indented you know the scope of variables 4) Easier to read 5) Better programming sense
What is 8.25 dollars times 30 hours?
$247.50 to figure it out next week take you salary and multiply it by the number of hours worked in your calculator. 8.25 x 30 = Good luck
How is qbasics relevant to a persons life?
At first, the student learns programming code purely by reading up about it...programming history...which is also the story of hardware/software; different programming languages...in fact, 100's of different programming languages...with newer programming languages being invented, constantly, all the time; concepts: procedural/functional/imperative/object oriented/compiler/interpreter/operating systems; different kinds of programs: based on numbers/text/graphics/sound/-etc. Next, they decide...yes, this computer science field seems to be really interesting; why not let me try giving it a go myself; first, by copying & pasting other people's example codes; then, running/executing these programs to see if they will work/or, not...??? Next, they have a go at learning to write their own code; naturally, as with learning most subjects to begin with, they will find themselves making MANY mistakes; each of these mistakes will need to be very patiently found/and, then, corrected in order to make their programs work, effectively. Sometimes, after making so many mistakes, repeatedly; they will end up feeling like being a 'total fool!' The big difference between a 'successful' programmer/and, a 'failed' programmer; is not usually a question of how intelligent the person is; as, the truth is, anyone of just plain normal average intelligence is capable of learning 'the art of programming'. Instead, it's more related to how fully determined they are to stick with learning; no matter how many times their code fails; try, try, again...; and, then, of course, you will, eventually, succeed. I myself can remember attempting to go write loads of programs which failed; sometimes, I must confess, that I just could not work out why/or else, got totally tired and fed up of trying to go figure it all out?! I either deleted the program, altogether/or else, attempted to either modify/or, re-write the code again starting from total scratch. Whether the program failed/or, RAN successfully; I was still very highly determined to continue along my programming journey. Some people think that programmers have to be really good at maths; well, all the maths I know is just really simple maths, indeed; namely, how to add/subtract/divide/multiply; thus, people are surprised to know that although I practice doing programming an awful lot, even, daily; yet, I'm not very good at maths in terms of having any high level understanding; in never actually passed any high level exam such as GCSE maths/which is 'base' level maths which school children learn. I guess, I just enjoy understanding the 'logic' of it all. Whereas, real life isn't always entirely logical, at all...?! A = 1 : B = 2: C = A+B Q: What's C? A: 3 ...this kind of problem I find I have no trouble at all understanding; and, in fact, do seem to understand it almost instinctively; just like a duck taking to water. I think, that many programmers enjoy programming because, secretly, it makes them feel like being the 'master' who is always issuing commands to the 'slave' computer; and, therefore, who is always 'totally in control!' You don't need to know a whole entire proramming language in order to be able to use it effectively. Let's say you wish to write a 12 x tables program; and, the language includes 1000's of codes; well, you don't need to go learn all of those 1000's of codes; instead, you just need to learn enough codes that will enable you to get by to be able to write your 12 x tables program, successfully; such as a mere handful of say around 10 or so codes should really be enough. I must confess that in all my years of practicing doing programming; I never learned a single programming language entirely in full, yet; at the most, I tend to learn about 1/2 of it; though, most times, less than a 1/4; and, yet still I was able to use whichever programming language I learned to create a multitude of different programs which all worked. In learning certain complex subjects; there is a point when you are a 'beginner'; and, then, you feel you are totally 'outside' of it all...; not quite fully understanding/more doing pure guess work, instead...??? Then, with plenty of time/patience/practice; then, you find that both your skills/understanding do slowly improve; and, you are now actually able to think in terms of the programming language itself; well, suddenly, you've gone and 'crossed the line', and, become an 'insider', now; that is the say that skill has actually become a part of you; just like your body limbs are: arms/feet/-etc.; you will take this skill around with you whereever it is you go in life; and, for all the rest of your entire lifetime to come. You find that you are, now, actually 'living' being in the programming language...for all of 24/7/366. So, whenever you see a sum written down: 1+1, on a paper sheet/or else, on TV/or, you heard that sum being spoken out aloud; your immediate thoughts are to interpret this problem in terms of programming code... PRINT 1+1 Or, if you see a game such as noughts and crosses/chess/monopoly/-etc. Then, your immediate thoughts are to interpret this problem in terms of programming code; how would I draw that board? So, you go and emulate trying to write/play the very same game on the computer; be it 'manual' version/or else, 'automatic' version; you might even try coming up with a novel version entirely of your own. That is how learning a programming language can, ultimately, change you; and, for all the rest of your entire life. You no longer see/interpret the world as being quite the same anymore; instead, if you see a simple shape such as a box-linke shape...be it door/cigerette box/speaker box/TV box/chester draws box/skyscraper shaped like a box...and, immediately, you find yourself thinking in terms of programming code...how would I draw that rectangle shape/and, put together all 4 sides of the box/what about the top and bottom lids of the box, how would I simulate that; could I make the box into a 3D shape that turns/how to color in the boxes sides/what about shape/length/angles/texture/weight/-etc. You have a timetable written down on a paper sheet; why not translate this into becoming computing code, instead; which could be stored in a more compact form on say a USB memory stick/or, the file uploaded, and, then, accessed over the net from off any internet connected computing device in the world; 24/7/366! Why don't I write a program to password protect my timetable file so that nobody can find it easily; or, even better still, why don't I write a program to encrypt the data itself...so that even if people do find it; they still won't be able to see/understand what the content means?!/-Etc. And, so on...and, so on...in this sense...when relating 'real life' situation/problems to programming practices; a progammers thinking process never ever actually ends...! Programmers do actually see, and, experience this entire 'world'...in terms which relates back to programming codes; to them everything IS a program; or, could become contained inside of a program; providing they can understand the problem well enough to be able to break it down, step by step; and, thus, be able to define it, effectively.
How many 0s in centillion?
centillion=303 zeros. (It is good to guess, but it's better to see this answer here, or look somewhere else on the computer.)
How is a software made?
It is really hard to explain in a few words; I suggest you register for an introductory course in computer programming, to get an idea. For example, there is a good course at udacity (using the Python programming language).
Is it true that if you are not good at computer programming engineering will be hard for you?
It depends.
What is python and is it good or bad for your computer?
python is simply a computer programming language as for if its good or bad that depends on what is programed with it
How can one be good at math but bad at science essay writing and computer programming?
It's simple really, there are people who are mathematically oriented but not science oriented
Is it true that if you are good at mathematics but not programming you will fail computer science?
No, you probably won't fail computer science. Probably. Mathematics involves logic and problem solving - which is a major part of computer science. Although programming is also a big part of computer science, there are quite a lot of branches to do with computers, and you don't necessarily have to work with programming. I'm good at maths and not so good at programming but I still did pretty well (better than all the hard-core programmers) in the computer science / programming class. If that's any consolation.
Is it true that if you are not good at computer programming in terms of writing code you will not do well in computer hardware engineering?
No
What are some good sites to learn computer programming?
alice and java
Is physics appropriate for people who are good at math but not programming?
You don't need computer programming for physics. Try it out; you might like it.
Does being good at math but bad at computer programming mean you are bad at science?
no.
What majors are for people who are good at math but suck at programming?
Just about any engineering course that's not specialized in computers. You might want to try your hand at computer programming anyway; you'll probably need SOME computer programming.
Is Python used for computer programming or software programming?
Computer programming is the process of making software. The expression software programming isn't much used, but would mean exactly the same.Python is a general purpose interpreted programming language. It is not suitable for highly optimised code, or for operating system programming, but a good choice for many other situations.
Do you suck at physics chemistry and engineering if you are good at math but bad at computer programming?
Not necessarily.
