IMPLEMENTATION OF BASIC INTEGRATION METHODS IN APP INVENTOR ENVIRONMENT AND THEIR EFFICIENCY
Abstract
This paper presents comparison of efficiency of basic integration methods implemented in App Inventor and Java for Android environment. Chosen methods (rectangle, trapezoidal and Simpson’s rules) were applied for linear, cubic and sine functions. Conducted experiment revealed that applications developed in App Inventor were significantly slower than in case of Java, which makes App Inventor unsuitable for applications involving intensive calculations.
