Extra
Show your understanding. You could make a simple simulation, define vocab, etc.
EXTRA:
Based on the lesson today about simulations, I did some more research about simulations in the Python programming language.
When I did this research, I landed upon a Python package known as "SimPy". This Python framework allows for users to create virtual simulations that can solve problems, such as decidable/undecidable problems and even optimization problems, which focus on making a simulation more efficient.
The below line shows how you can set up the SimPy environment at the start of a program:
NOTE: You have to install the simpy package beforehand. This can be done using pip (which we have used prior in APCSP) with the command:
python3 -m pip install simpy
env = simpy.Environment()
WHAT QUESTIONS
3: What is not a reason to use a pseudo-random number generator when making a simulation?
A: To mock imperfections from the real world
B: To save resources
C: To make the simulation more accurate
4: Which of the following is the least likely factor to be removed from a flight(air traffic) simulation for functionality?
A: Weather
B: Other aircraft
C: Imperfections on aircraft
Experiment/Calculation or Simulation
5: What is not (usually) a difference between a experiment and a simulation?
A: Resources and time needed
B: Factors considered
