| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Blocks Editor | The part of MIT App Inventor where users add logic and functionality to their app by connecting blocks that define how components behave. |
| Button | A UI component that users can press to trigger an action or event, such as changing a screen or executing a task. |
| Cloud Storage | A method of storing data on remote servers that can be accessed over the internet, often used for saving app data remotely. |
| Debugging | The process of finding and fixing errors (bugs) in the code to ensure the app runs smoothly and correctly. |
| Event | An action or occurrence in the app (e.g., button click, screen initialization, or sensor detection) that triggers specific responses or actions. |
| TinyDB | A component in MIT App Inventor used for storing small amounts of data locally on the device, such as user preferences or scores. |
| User Interface (UI) | The space where users interact with the app, including buttons, text fields, images, and layouts. |
| Variable | A container used to store data values that can change during the execution of the app (e.g., numbers, text, or Boolean values). |
| Algorithm | A step-by-step set of instructions used to solve a problem or complete a task, often implemented as blocks in App Inventor. |
| App | A software application designed to help users perform specific tasks, often available for smartphones or tablets. |
| App Development | The process of creating an app from initial concept through design, programming, testing, and release |
| App Preview | A feature that lets developers see a live version of the app on their device or in the emulator during development. |
| Block-Based Programming | A method of programming where users create programs by dragging and connecting visual blocks, rather than writing code. |
| Component | A building block of an app, such as a button, text box, or sensor, that adds functionality or design to the app. |
| Deploy | The process of releasing an app for public use, either through an app store or other distribution methods |
| Designer Interface | The part of MIT App Inventor where users create the visual layout of an app, arranging components on the screen. |
| Emulator | A software program that mimics the behavior of a physical device (like a smartphone), allowing app developers to test their apps without using a real device. |
| Event Handler | A block of code or a set of instructions that defines what the app should do in response to an event, like a button press or a screen swipe. |
| Layout | The arrangement of UI components (buttons, text, images) on a screen, which determines how the app appears to users. |
| MIT App Inventor | A block-based programming environment developed by MIT that allows users to create mobile applications without needing extensive programming knowledge. |
| Permission | The access rights granted by the user for an app to use certain features of the device, such as the camera or location services. |
| Prototype | An early version or model of an app used to visualize and test its design and functionality before full development. |
| Screen | A visual component in an app, often representing a different page or part of the app that users interact with. |
| Testing | The process of running an app to check for bugs, errors, and functionality issues to ensure it works as expected. |
