QUESTION #1

Name a type of compression your computing device has used in the last week and tell whether it was a lossy or lossless type of compression.

For example:

I converted my RAW images from my digital cameral to .jpegs when I transferred them to my computer. RAW to .jpeg is a lossy type of compression.

QUESTION #2

Name 3 SIMPLE Python built-in functions and briefly describe what each function does. Include input and output and anything interesting about the function.

For example:

max()

input: a list of numbers output: the biggest number

(If you put a list of Strings (words or characters) into the max function, it will attempt to alphabetize them.)

QUESTION #3

Write pseudocode (human-readable approximation of code) for a function that you might use in your daily life.

For example:

def find_keys (rooms_in_house): for each room in the house: search room if keys are found, return which room it is. if keys are not found in any room, return the String "Lost forever :( "

QUESTION #4

Choose one of Python's built-in function and list the parameters. HINT: You can use the docs available on Codeskulptor to help you!

For example:

max(parameters)

The parameters can be just about anything - numbers, strings, lists of numbers, lists of strings.
