Project 3 - Metaphor Paragraph

Description of my metaphor installation:

Imperative Programming is a programming method of sorting and analysing code in a certain program and compiling it in an understandable list of sequences for the computer to work through in a sort of order. A list is essentially created to show the computer that before it can move on to the next task it MUST complete its current computation. Just like a dot-to-dot the image cannot be seen or understood unless the person works through it in a sequenced and numerical order. Only when the program sorts the data from the input code and sequences the code into a list of commands can the application of the lines of code come to fruition. My metaphor is that the way computer code behaves in order to run correct programs is similar to how someone might expect to behave when trying to uncover the image hidden by a list of events that must be met before the image is uncovered, in a defined and purposeful method of execution. The metaphor of the pen linking two points together to create a line which is extended every time the next point is connected adheres to the way computer code cannot operate unless it is told what to do once a specific task is completed.
