Lesson 7 Arrays
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Simple data type use | single memory cell to store a variable |
| Data Structure | A composite of related data items stored under the same name |
| Array | A collection of data items of the same type |
| Array element | A data item that is part of an array |
| Subscripted variable | A variable followed by a subscript in brackets, designating an array element |
| Array script | A value or expression enclosed in brackets after the array name, specifying which array element to access |
| Pop | remove the top element of a stack |
| Push | insert a new element at the top of the stack |
| Parallel arrays | two or more arrays with the same number of elements used for storing related information about a collection of data objects |
| Enumerated type | a data type whose list of values is specified by the programmer in a type declaration |
| Enumeration constant | an identifier that is one of the values of an enumerated type |
| Multidimensional array | an array with two or more dimensions |
| Seed | seed for a random number generator. An initial value used in the computation of the first random number. |
| Recursive function | function that calls itself or that is part of a cycle in the sequence of function calls |
| Simple case | problem case for which a straightforward solution is known |
| Activation frame | representation of one call to a function |
| terminating condition | a condition that is true when a recursive algorithm is processing a simple case |
| stack | a data structure in which the last data item added is the first data item processed |
| system stack | area of memory where parameters and local variables are allocated when a function is called and deallocated when the function returns |
| pointer or pointer variable | A memory cell that stores the address of a data item. |
| Indirect reference | Accessing the contents of a memory cell through a pointer variable that stores its address |
| sorting | rearranging data in a particular sequence (increasing or decreasing) |
| scope of a name | the region in a program where a particular meaning of a name is visible |
| stub | a skeleton function that consists of a header and statements that display trace messages and assign values to output parameters; enables testing of the flow of control among functions before this function is completed |
| top-down testing | the process of testing flow of control between a main function and its subordinate functions |
| unit test | a test of an individual function |
| bottom-up testing | the process of separately testing individual functions of a program system |
| system integration tests | testing a system after replacing all its stubs with functions that have been pretested |
