Assembly vs DNA

Assembly vs DNA

C vs Proteins

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) { printf("hello, world\n"); return 0;

}

C vs Proteins

C++ vs Cells// vectors: overloading operators example #include <iostream> using namespace std; class CVector {

public: int x,y; CVector () {}; CVector (int,int); CVector operator + (CVector);

}; CVector::CVector (int a, int b) { x = a; y = b; } CVector CVector::operator+ (CVector param) {

CVector temp; temp.x = x + param.x; temp.y = y + param.y; return (temp);

}

C++ vs Cells

Java vs Tissues

class HelloWorldApp { public static void main(String[] args){

System.out.println("Hello World!");}

}

C++ vs Cells

Programs/OS vs Organ/Body

Notes on programming humans

• Commands must match the subject’s Integration level– Or else we’re doomed

• Be sure to pick carefully your appeals to – Reason– Emotion– Conformity
