API

I learnt about API which Is basically a translator for a computer. A computer cant view 3D images so the 3D image is sent through the API which then breaks it down into binary(computer language) which basically takes coardinates of the corners, edges etc, it is then sent to something we call a pipeline which has 6 processes one being breaking the image into binary, then it uses the light factor which after 3D is converted to 2D and at the end where the computer is viewing a bunch of numbers(binary) we are seeing a 2D image. Open GL and direct 3D are a few examples of API. (that's my brief understanding)
