Seeking appropriate methods to model computing and human thought.
Recently, the College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB) has decided to redesign the Advanced Placement (AP) examination in computer science (CS) so that AP courses will be forced to switch from Pascal to C++ starting around 1998.
A technique for counting ones in a binary computer
Standard methods of counting binary ones on a computer with a 704 type instruction code require an inner loop which is carried out once for each bit in the machine word. Program 1 (written in SAP language for purposes of illustration) is an example of such a standard program.
