Cards in this deck (20)
- 1AlgorithmAn sequential set of steps that are essential in completing a task
- 2IterationIteration is the repetition of a process in order to generate an outcome, where each loop is considered an iteration
- 3Rogue ValueA Value that falls outside the perimeters of the program
- 4Variablea variable or scalar is a storage location paired with an associated symbolic name, which contains some known or unknown quantity of information referred to as a value
- 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.
- 6Stringdata values that are made up of ordered sequences of characters, such as "hello world"
- 7IntegerA numerical number that's used as a vaue
- 8FloatA float is a floating-point number, which means it is a number that has a decimal place. Floats are used when more precision is needed
- 9BooleanA true or false response
- 10SelectionSelection is a programming construct where a section of code is run only if a condition is met
- 11SubroutineSubroutines are small blocks of code in a modular program designed to perform a particular task
- 12Identititythe unique name of a person, device, or the combination of both that is recognized by a system
- 13SequencesSequences are the main logical structure of algorithms or programs
- 14Lista 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.
- 15Arrayarray is a series of memory locations – or 'boxes' – each of which holds a single item of data
- 16Linear searchA linear search is the simplest method 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 the item is found, the search ends. If there is no match, the algorithm must deal with this.
- 17Annotationdocumentation and comments that may be found on code logic.
- 18Instrumentationthe measure of a product's performance, to diagnose errors, and to write trace information
- 19Assignmentsets and/or re-sets the value stored in the storage location denoted by a variable name
- 20Declarationlanguage construct that specifies properties of an identifier:
