1Variables are [blank_start]named containers[blank_end] for values.
- Anamed containers
2Putting a value into a variable is referred to as [blank_start]assignment[blank_end].
- Aassignment
3[blank_start]Variables[blank_end] are named after the fact that their [blank_start]value[blank_end] can vary – a different [blank_start]value[blank_end] can be assigned to a [blank_start]variable[blank_end] at any time.
- AVariables
- Bvariable
- Cvalue
- Dvalue
4When you assign a variable, you use the [blank_start]= symbol[blank_end].
- A= symbol
5When storing a [blank_start]value[blank_end] into a [blank_start]variable[blank_end], the name of the [blank_start]variable[blank_end] goes on the [blank_start]left[blank_end] and the [blank_start]value[blank_end] you want to store in the [blank_start]variable[blank_end] goes on the [blank_start]right[blank_end].
- Avalue
- Bvariable
- Cvariable
- Dleft
- Evalue
- Fvariable
- Gright
6An [blank_start]algorithm[blank_end] is a step-by-step procedure to achieve a specific goal. (Think of a numbered list, not just for programming.)
- Aalgorithm
- Bargument
- Carray
- Dassignment
- Eexecutable
7What is an algorithm?
- AA step-by-step procedure to achieve a specific goal.
- Ba piece of code that is not run until it is called.
- Ca value that is passed into a function when it is called.
8[blank_start]Type[blank_end] is the kind or category of a [blank_start]value[blank_end]. Every [blank_start]value[blank_end] has a [blank_start]type[blank_end].
- AType
- Bvalue
- Cvalue
- Dtype
9The value 5 is of the [blank_start]integer type[blank_end].
- Ainteger type
10The value 5.2 is of the [blank_start]float type[blank_end].
- Afloat type
11The value "cat" is of the [blank_start]string type[blank_end].
- Astring type
12Every [blank_start]value[blank_end] has a type.
- Avalue
13[blank_start]Simple[blank_end] types, like [blank_start]integers[blank_end], are usually provided by the programming language.
- ASimple
- Bintegers
14The programmer can define more complicated types using [blank_start]classes[blank_end].
- Aclasses
15A [blank_start]class[blank_end] is a type that can be defined by the programmer.
- Aclass
16A code that fully implements something - usually a variable, class or function is called a [blank_start]definition[blank_end].
- Adefinition
17To [blank_start]implement[blank_end] something means to write all the code for it (usually a function or class.)
- Aimplement
18What do you store into variables?
- Avalues
- Bnamed containers
- Cclasses
- Dfunctions
19What is a variable?
- AA stored named container for a value.
- BValues
- CThe "n" in: n = 44
- DThe "44" in: n = 44
20What is a value?
- AA piece of data that can be contained inside a variable.
- BThe "A" in: A = 15
- CThe "15" in: A = 15
21Where is a value placed when assigned to a variable?
- ATo the right
- BTo the left
