While she is a amazing woman I don’t like fallacies so she didn’t write it all by hand she did however in a time where women were marginalized in general and, in science especially come to lead a team of software designers that eventually sent us to the moon.
Assuming youre serious and not trolling on some point that I missed...
That code isnt applied from the book, its given to the spaceship's computer to run. The books you see are just the printed version of it, for "archives".
Code is basically a set of instructions for a computer, written in a language (thats what was printed) that can be translated to instructions for the computer (1 & 0s).
So you might have some 'code' responsible for keeping the rocket vertical. What it would would actually be is a be a set of instructions, that would cause the rocket to read from its instruments to find out its angle compared to its lauch, and adjust the thrusters power to stay as close to expected values as possible. For instance, if you took a 2D model qnd try to take off an horizontal line, you would have instruments finding the angle of the rocket, and if it tilts to the right then you would increase the right thruster to set it back to vertical and vice versa.
Thank you! I wasn't trolling. I know see I had a general idea on what a code is, but I was confused about why you write it down to then use it (lol) now I understand it is for "saving" it and this helps. Thanks!
