The Way of the Program

QuestionAnswer
The process of formulating a problem, finding a solution, and expressing the solution. Problem Solving

A language that is designed to be easy for a computer to execute; also called “Machine Language” or “Assembly Language.” Low-Level Language
A property of a program that can run on more than one kind of computer. Portability
To execute a program in a High-Level Language by translating it one line at a time. Interpret
To translate a program from High-Level to Low-Level Language all at once, in preparation for later execution. Compile
A program in a High-Level Language before being compiled is this kind of code. Source Code
The output of the compiler after it translates the program is called. Object Code
Another name for object code that is ready to be executed. Executable
A program stored in a file (usually one that will be interpreted.) Script

The structure of a program, and the rules about that structure is called its? Syntax
An error in a program that makes it impossible to parse (and therefore impossible to interpret.) Syntax Error

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
