Algorithms, loops, "if" statements - these are words computer programmers use all the time. But what do they actually mean? We've asked a computer science professor to break it down in simple terms. | CBC News: The National

This simulation demonstrates the effects of sampling rate on analog signals. The top waveform (purple) represents the original continuous triangular signal, while the other waveforms show sampled versions at different frequencies — 1 kHz (green), 500 Hz (orange), and 250 Hz (red). As the sampling rate decreases, the reconstructed waveform becomes more distorted and loses accuracy, illustrating aliasing and quantization effects. A higher sampling rate captures more signal details, producing a wav
