CS270
was my first look at the low level processes taking place within a machine. Besides studying architecture, much of the course's work took place in an LC3 simulator. Using such simulator is where
I gained first-hand experience using assembly, and thus fleshed out a significant amount of my understanding of how syntax was interpreted and how high level languages are abstracted. It "lifted the hood" on the seemingly over-complex job
of a machine, and cemented roots in my understanding of code as a whole.
