    pairwise, using rules 1 and 3. 3. Two floating point numbers are considered equal if their absolute or relative difference is smaller than 1e-6, unless the problem statement says otherwise. This does not apply to integers. Two integers are considered equal only when they are exactly equal.

  24. pascal is unsuitable on What 'IT' Stuff Should We Teach Ninth-Graders? · · Score: 1

    Pascal is unsuitable as learning language for 9th grade. Problem is psychological. It takes time to know how place semicolons, write begin,end and children with problems will thing programing isn't for them.

  25. what to teach on What 'IT' Stuff Should We Teach Ninth-Graders? · · Score: 1

    From my experience in Czech rep. biggest problem is lack of competent teachers.
    Typing skills: Typing skills should be taught as soon as possible. We can divide learning to type into two phases. In first phase child learns a layout. In this phase put emphasis to accuracy and good habits not speed. Teacher should teach children as in any touch typing course.(biggest problem will be teach teachers to touch type.) Because need is best teacher keyboards should have their keys wiped out. Think about using dvorak as english layout. Here I don't know how difficult is to learn layout to person without foreknowledge so you must try it in experimental class.
    In second phase we improve speed. This phase should be integrated into language classes also as effective tool to improve grammar. How and when do you teach english and native language? In second phase every week language teacher dictates a text which students type. We use automatic grading system. If student mistypes some word(we compare it to teacher supplied text) he would be penalized say by 1 point. Mistyped word is marked to provide immediate feedback. If student cant fix it he another 2 points.
    Programing: also should be taught soon like 5th grade. Learning programing is hard till you start think like programmer when it becomes easy. Using python is good choice (but I would prefer ruby). It is better teach variables then arrays, hashes and foreach, then functions and after than if and logic. Doing same thing with many items is natural. logic is most difficult aspect of programming.
