username

Front

A name you make up so that you can see or do things on a website, sometimes called a "screen name."

Back

DNS (domain name service)

Front

The service that translates URLs to IP addresses.

Back

conditionals

Front

Statements that only run under certain conditions or situations.

Back

binary

Front

A way of representing information using only two options.

Back

function

Front

A piece of code that you can easily call over and over again. Functions are sometimes called 'procedures.' A function definition is a segment of code that includes the steps performed in the function. A function call is the code segment, typically within the main logic of the program, which invokes the function.

Back

computer science

Front

A field in which people use the power of computers to solve big problems.

Back

loop

Front

The action of doing something over and over again.

Back

computational thinking

Front

Mental processes and strategies that include: decomposition, pattern matching, abstraction, algorithms (decomposing problems into smaller, more manageable problems, finding repeating patterns, abstracting specific differences to make one solution work for multiple problems, and creating step-by-step algorithms).

Back

Wi-Fi

Front

A wireless method of sending information using radio waves.

Back

algorithm

Front

A list of steps to finish a task. A set of instructions that can be performed with or without a computer. For example, the collection of steps to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich is an algorithm.

Back

event-handler

Front

An action or event that is being constantly monitored for by the computer. When you write code for the computer to perform after that an action occurs, that code, the event-handler, will run every time the action is performed without having to put the commands inside of a loop. Many event-handlers are human-initiated. For example: an event handler might respond when the user clicks the mouse by making the bird flap its wings. "When the mouse is clicked" is an event-handler.

Back

decompose

Front

Break a problem down into smaller pieces.

Back

abstraction

Front

Pulling out specific differences to make one solution work for multiple problems students.

Back

variable

Front

A placeholder for a piece of information that can change.

Back

digital citizen

Front

Someone who acts safely, responsibly, and respectfully online.

Back

workspace

Front

The white area on the right side of Code.org's online learning system where you drag and drop commands to build your program.

Back

data

Front

Quantities, characters, or symbols that are the inputs and outputs of computer programs.

Back

Internet

Front

A group of computers and servers that are connected to each other.

Back

program

Front

A program is an algorithm that has been coded into something that can be run by a machine.

Back

URL (universal resource locator)

Front

An easy-to-remember address for calling a web page (like www.code.org).

Back

toolbox

Front

The tall grey bar in the middle section of Code.org's online learning system where all the commands you can use to write your program are displayed. (Course 1: Lesson 4)

Back

debugging

Front

Finding and fixing errors in programs.

Back

IP address

Front

A number assigned to any item that is connected to the Internet.

Back

digital footprint

Front

The information about someone on the Internet.

Back

fiber optic cable

Front

A connection that uses light to transmit information.

Back

event

Front

An action that causes something to happen.

Back

iteration

Front

A repetitive action or command typically created with programming loops.

Back

crowdsourcing

Front

Getting help from a large group of people to finish something faster.

Back

run program

Front

To have the computer execute the commands you've written in your program.

Back

DSL/cable

Front

A method of sending information using telephone or television cables.

Back

code

Front

One or more commands or algorithm(s) designed to be carried out by a computer. See Program.

Back

servers

Front

Computers that exist only to provide things to others.

Back

command

Front

An instruction for the computer. Many commands put together make up algorithms and computer programs.

Back

bug

Front

An error in a program that prevents the program from running as expected.
