Data Sorting

In everyday life, people use algorithms to accomplish tasks, and this is no different when it comes to computing. Algorithms are just a sequence of steps that are followed to accomplish an assignment (Lysecky et al., 2015).  One of the most important things that are done when it comes to computing is storing data as well as sorting this data and then being able to retrieve that data. There are various ways of sorting through data if that is necessary. There are also various ways to retrieve the data that is stored by using different algorithms. Depending on the amount of data and the type of data that is being sorted there are different methods that are better than others. When sorting the data, one must decide if the data is going to be sorted in ascending order or descending order and there are algorithms that programmers use most often when writing programmers. One of the first sorting algorithms is the linear search algorithm which searches elements in an array one by one in a line

Java! Another Programming Language

 Hello There, There are many programming languages out there to choose from and choosing which one to learn after you worked with one becomes the real question. I am currently taking a course on Java. Java is an object-orientated programming language that deals more with data or objects instead of functions like other programming languages. It is more complex than other languages like Python, which is the first programming language I learned to work with. Although most programming languages can do the same thing choosing one over another becomes a question of what I am using it for and which language suits me best. You can install Java on your computer to use but if you cannot install it on your computer there are a lot of resources online you could use to help you get familiar with Java. I will share links to the online resources I used to help me use Java online without having to download it and I will link you with a simple program I had to write for class. It was a simple progr

  Network Security Connection             Network security is very important in today’s world, and it will continue to be an essential part of the future of the cyber world. With each new technological advancement, there is a threat that arises that is set in motion to try and exploit that new technology. From the dawn of the first home computers, some seek to use those same systems with malicious intent. Cybercrime is the fastest-growing form of criminal activity (Vahid & Lysecky, 2017). The growing rate of cybercrime means there must be people at the forefront trying to protect against it and it starts with protecting networks as well as devices that are in use. Network security is a cornerstone to any computer database and this security needs to stay prepared for any cyber threat that will try to take advantage of its users.            Having a reliable network requires having reliable hardware and that hardware needs to be protected as well. The hardware one must be using b

 Network Security      There are several security threats to those that jump on any network even when it isn’t connected to the internet. The number of computing devices out there can all be targeted and if these threats are not checked the damage can be very costly. The threats to one’s network, devices, and even information come in many forms. These threats are serious but there are a few tried and true methods to help avert them. This paper will cover two specific threats in detail as well as outline some protective measures to help.            One of the threats that are very popular in the cyberworld is called phishing. Phishing is a scam that runs on the internet to try to exploit a user’s sensitive information (Vahid & Lysecky, 2017). These types of threats are mainly targeted at a specific user of a device that can connect to a network or internet. Once a breach has happened the user’s information can be used to abuse that user's accounts whether it be money or just t
