- 1ValidationValidation is used to check if data is meaningfull
- 2Range CheckA range check is used to only allow certain values
- 3Presence CheckA presence check checks that data has been entered
- 4ExceptionsAllows the user to input data without receiving errors
- 5Length CheckTo check the length of data
- 6GIGOGarbage In Garbage Out
Meaning if data is not valuable it won't be used - 7Logical ErrorA problem in the design of the algorithm
- 8Syntax ErrorA grammatical error in the source code of a program
- 9BinaryBinary uses 1s and 0s to represent on/off switches
- 10Binary Addition Rules1 + 0 = 1
0 + 0 = 0
1 + 1 = 0, carry a 1
1 + 1 + carried 1 = 1, carry a 1 - 11OverflowIf the result of a binary addition is higher than the maximum number of bits, an overflow error will occur
- 12Binary Shift LeftMoves binary numbers to the left, doubling them for each time they are shifted
- 13Binary Shift RightMoves binary numbers to the right, halving them for each time they are shifted
- 14IterationA repeat in a program or algorithm
- 15SelectionChecks whether a condition is true or not and adjusts the flow of code based on that
- 16SequenceIn a sequence structure, an action, or event, leads to the next ordered action in a predetermined order. The sequence can contain any number of actions, but no actions can be skipped in the sequence.
