If you remember, one of the things we discussed was how the military’s job is to save as many of their soldiers as possible. We do that by creating long-range weapons (sometimes referred to as standoff weapons), better armor, stealth, maneuverability, and more. So, what if we completely remove our own soldiers, sailors, and airmen?…
We often think that bigger is what the military wants. After all, the military often holds the records for the biggest aircraft, fastest plane, highest flying plane, etc. While some of these, like the C-5 Galaxy is a transport plane, it is used by the US Military and allies. Sometimes a specialized civilian aircraft such…
One of the tech areas that the military likes to focus on is survivability. That is making sure their troops, planes, ships, tanks, and even munitions can survive encounters with the enemy. Understand that different countries take different approached based upon preferred tactics, technology know how, manufacturing capabilities, etc. Some countries are even better at…
OK, if you’re going to talk about the military and technology, you cannot not talk about War. And it’s been asked, “What is it Good for” – Now you can get philosophical about this and say it is not good for anything. Or you can be like Carl von Clausewitz in his book On War….
Much like we discussed in Flowcharts, in pseduocode, we can also nest our conditions. That means that within the body of one true statement, or the else, false statement, we can nest a whole new decision. A simple case is where we want to see if two things are both true, and we don’t know…
Predefined processes, often called procedures or functions, are the core of many programming languages. They allow you to do so much more, than just a standard set of commands. These are the same time of predefined processes that we would find in a flowchart. We are just going to show them a little different in…
A counting loop in Pseudocode is similar to a conditional loop, or how you would define a counting loop in a flowchart. In fact, you can write a conditional loop to solve a counting loop in pseudocode. While a conditional loop is designed to do something while a condition is met, a counting loop is…
Just like with flowcharts where you can repeat a series of steps, you can repeat a series of steps in pseudocode. And just like with Flowcharts, we have two main types of repetition, conditional loops and counting loops. In this example we are going to work with conditional loops. Setting the Condition First we need…
