      Hi katiemaisie thanks for your question!

      It is important to know whether my code is working so that I do not waste time so usually I get into work at 8.30am and check to see if the program has worked well by making a movie of the results.

      However, did you know that computers can connect to each other through the internet?

      Sometimes I check my program is working well in the middle of the night by connecting to my lab computer from my laptop at home. I use a program called terminal on my laptop and log in through the internet to my lab computer and can see what is going on even though I am miles away from work.
