|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Coding | is the process of translating a computer solution into a language a computer can understand
🗑
|
||||
| High-level languages | allow programmers to use English-like instructions
🗑
|
||||
| Compilers | translate high-level instructions into 0s and 1s (machine language)
🗑
|
||||
| Interpreters | translate the program line by line as the program is running
🗑
|
||||
| Linkers | add in additional code to make the program self-executable
🗑
|
||||
| procedure-oriented program | the programmer concentrates on the major tasks that the application needs to perform
Examples: COBOL, BASIC, C
🗑
|
||||
| object-oriented program | creates objects with behaviors and values to accomplish its goal
Examples: C++, Java, C#
🗑
|
||||
| Event-driven | program utilizes user, system, and component events to accomplish goals
Visual C#, Visual C++, Visual Basic
Window.close, mouse.click, system.err
🗑
|
||||
| Syntax errors | errors in typing, punctuation, or structure of commands
🗑
|
||||
| semantic errors | outside the programmer’s control and occur at run time (file not found).
🗑
|
||||
| Logic errors | incorrectly written instructions
Example: Multiplying a number by 2
Get input number.
Compute calculated answer as
inputNumber times 4.
Print calculatedAnswer.
🗑
|
||||
| sequence structure | directs the computer to process the program instructions, one after another, in the order in which they are listed in the program
🗑
|
||||
| algorithm | set of instructions that will transform the problem’s input into its output and is a finite number of step-by-step instructions that accomplish a task
Example: steps to pump gas at a self-service pump
🗑
|
||||
| Pseudocode | tool programmers use to help plan an algorithm
🗑
|
||||
| Formula | mathematical relationship between numbers
10 apples is the same as 5 apples+5 apples (10=5+5)
If there are 3 feet per meter, then 9 feet = 3 meters
(9 feet/3 feet per meter = 3 meters)

||||
| High level language | A programming language like Python that is designed to be easy for humans to read and write.
🗑
|
||||
| Logic | An implied comparison resulting when one thing is directly called another. To be logically acceptable, support must be appropriate to the claim, believable and consistent.
🗑
|
||||
| Flowchart | A diagram that shows step-by-step progression through a procedure or system especially using connecting lines and a set of conventional symbols.
🗑
|
||||
| Control structures | Logical structures that control the order in which instructions are carried out.
🗑
|
||||
| Iteration | Repetition.
🗑
|
||||

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
To hide a column, click on the column name.
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
