shared by fictionalworlds on 15 Jul 13 - Cached
  • The status bar presents information about the worksheet, the function of the button the mouse pointer is pointing to, or the mode of Excel.
  • Mode indicators, such as Enter and Ready, appear on the status bar and specify the current mode of Excel. When the mode is Ready, Excel is ready to accept the next command or data entry. When the mode indicator reads Enter, Excel is in the process of accepting data through the keyboard into the active cell.
  • Keyboard indicators, such as Scroll Lock, show which toggle keys are engaged. Keyboard indicators appear to the right of the mode indicator. Toward the right edge of the status bar are buttons and controls you can use to change the view of a document and adjust the size of the displayed document.

shared by Sunny Jackson on 10 Jul 13 - Cached
  • Variables are "containers" for storing information.
  • variables can be used to hold values (x=5) or expressions (z=x+y).
  • A variable can have a short name, like x, or a more descriptive name, like carname.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Rules for JavaScript variable names: Variable names are case sensitive (y and Y are two different variables) Variable names must begin with a letter or the underscore character
  • Creating variables in JavaScript is most often referred to as "declaring" variables.
  • You can declare JavaScript variables with the var keyword: var x; var carname;
  • they have no values yet
  • you can also assign values to the variables when you declare them: var x=5; var carname="Volvo";
  • When you assign a text value to a variable, use quotes around the value.
  • If you assign values to variables that have not yet been declared, the variables will automatically be declared.
  • These statements: x=5; carname="Volvo"; have the same effect as: var x=5; var carname="Volvo";

If the user clicks "OK", the box returns true. If the user clicks "Cancel", the box returns false. Syntax confirm("sometext");
  • <script type="text/javascript"> function show_confirm() { var r=confirm("Press a button"); if (r==true)   {   alert("You pressed OK!");   } else   {   alert("You pressed Cancel!");   } } </script>
  • Prompt Box A prompt box is often used if you want the user to input a value before entering a page. When a prompt box pops up, the user will have to click either "OK" or "Cancel" to proceed after entering an input value. If the user clicks "OK" the box returns the input value. If the user clicks "Cancel" the box returns null. Syntax prompt("sometext","defaultvalue");

  • uses the structural conventions of a programming language, but is intended for human reading rather than machine reading.
  • augmented with natural language descriptions of the details, where convenient, or with compact mathematical notation.
  • The purpose of using pseudocode is that it is easier for humans to understand than conventional programming language code, and that it is a compact and environment-independent description of the key principles of an algorithm
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • commonly used in textbooks and scientific publications that are documenting various algorithms, and also in planning of computer program development, for sketching out the structure of the program before the actual coding takes place.
  • No standard for pseudocode syntax exists, as a program in pseudocode is not an executable program. Pseudocode resembles, but should not be confused with, skeleton programs including dummy code, which can be compiled without errors.
  • Flowcharts can be thought of as a graphical alternative to pseudocode.
  • <variable> = <expression>
  • IF <condition> DO stuff; ELSE DO other stuff;

  • Clarke's Three Laws are three "laws" of prediction formulated by the British writer and scientist Arthur C. Clarke. They are: When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right; when he states that something is impossible, he is probably wrong. The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
