- 1algorithma set of instructions to complete a task
- 2iterationeach step through a loop
- 3rogue valuea value that falls outside the parameters of the program
- 4variablea piece of data that can alter that has also been given a name
- 5data typea data type or simply type is an attribute of data which tells the compiler or interpreter how the programmer intends to use the data.
- 6stringused for data values that are made up of ordered sequences of characters, such as "hello world"
- 7intergeris a whole number (not a fractional number) that can be positive, negative, or zero.
- 8floatis a number without a decimal point.
- 9booleanthe Boolean data type is a data type that has one of two possible values (usually denoted true and false) which is intended to represent the two truth values of logic and Boolean algebra.
- 10selectionSelection is a programming construct where a section of code is run only if a condition is met.

- 12sequenceIn mathematics, a sequence is an enumerated collection of objects in which repetitions are allowed and order matters.
- 13lista list or sequence is an abstract data type that represents a countable number of ordered values, where the same value may occur more than once.
- 14arrayAn array is a series of memory locations – or 'boxes' – each of which holds a single item of data, but with each box sharing the same name
- 15linear searchmethod of searching a data set. Starting at the beginning of the data set, each item of data is examined until a match is made. Once item is found, the search ends. If there no match, the algorithm must deal with this.
- 16annotationAnnotation is a term used in computer programming to refer to documentation and comments that may be found on code logic. Annotation is typically ignored once the code is executed.
- 17incriminationthe process of increasing or decreasing numeric value by another value
- 18assignmentsets and re sets the value stored in the storage location detonated by a valuable name
- 19decelerationa language construct that specifies properties of an identifier
