Hornet (app)

Hornet (app) is a computer science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Hornet (app) rather than just read about it. In short: Hornet is a location-based social networking and online dating application for gay, bisexual, and non-heterosexual men, as well as other men who have sex with men (MSM). In 2018, it was seen as "Grindr's chief competitor in the gay app market".

Key takeaways

Hornet (app) belongs to computer science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Hornet (app) to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Hornet (app) from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Hornet is a location-based social networking and online dating application for gay, bisexual, and non-heterosexual men, as well as other men who have sex with men (MSM). In 2018, it was seen as "Grindr's chief competitor in the gay app market". As well as featuring other men, the app contains city guide books and LGBT-specific news. The app is intended to be used in countries where coming out as LGBT is problematic (see LGBT rights by country or territory), but can be used in most countries in the world. Many users of Hornet also use another similar MSM apps, with Grindr, Scruff and Jack'd being the most popular in the United States.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Hornet (app)

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Hornet (app) claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In computer science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Hornet (app) before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Hornet (app) ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Hornet (app)

In research: Hornet (app) appears in computer science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Hornet (app) in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Hornet (app) is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Android (operating system) software, BlackBerry software, Geosocial networking, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Hornet (app) outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
