商品描述
Computer Science Why is a book that presents a straightforward, curiosity-based approach to filling in the blanks around common, introductory material taught in Computer Science (CS) classes. If you have ever wondered "why is that?" about a programming phenomenon, historical tidbit, or common terminology, this book may have an answer that explains it.
Questions include:
- Why do computers have trouble with floating point numbers?
- Why is it called Bluetooth? Why does it use that symbol?
- Why is it called bootstrapping?
- Why don't modifications to function parameters persist once the function
- returns?
- Why do we use the QWERTY keyboard?
- ... and many more.
Perfect for both students and IT professionals, this book provides the clear "why" to answer so many unstated CS questions. Take any example in this book, from base 2 to time zones, and you will have an answer that cements your insight on the "why" of the topic, reinforcing your rote memorization with deeper understanding and insight.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
《計算機科學的為什麼》是一本以簡單、基於好奇心的方式，填補計算機科學（CS）課程中常見入門材料的空白的書籍。如果你曾經對某個程式現象、歷史小知識或常見術語感到「為什麼會這樣？」的疑問，這本書可能會提供解釋的答案。
問題包括：
- 為什麼電腦在處理浮點數時會遇到困難？
- 為什麼叫做藍牙？為什麼使用那個符號？
- 為什麼叫做啟動（bootstrapping）？
- 為什麼對函數參數的修改在函數返回後不會持續存在？
- 為什麼我們使用QWERTY鍵盤？
- ... 還有許多其他問題。
這本書非常適合學生和IT專業人士，提供清晰的「為什麼」來回答許多未被明言的計算機科學問題。從二進位制到時區，書中的任何例子都會給你一個鞏固你對該主題「為什麼」的見解的答案，並用更深的理解和洞察力來加強你的死記硬背。
