TypedExtensive Standard Libraries
2. What is human computer interaction? the study of user interface between people
and computers (how humans and computers
interact) used to ensure that computer systems
are eflcient and ettective
3. HCI stands for human computer interaction
4. when we have a string and want it to be int(variable) or float(variable)
a number can do or _
5. when we have a number and want it to be str(variable)
a string we can do
6. len(word) tells us what? how many letters/how long the world is
7. isdigit() tells us what? true - if all characters are numbers
false - if all characters are not number
8. \n causes...and /t causes... new line and horizontal tab
9. Algorithms a process or set of rules to be followed in cal-
culations or other problem-solving operations,
especially by a computer.
10. Explicit Bias vs Implicit Bias Explicit: individuals are aware of their preju-
dices and attitudes toward certain groups.
Implicit: form of bias that occurs automatically
and unintentionally, that nevertheless attects
judgments, decisions, and behaviors
, 11. What creates an algorithm bias Data collection and developers and their algo-
rithms
