Machine Code

Front

Set of all possible instructions made available by the hardware design of a particular processor. Closest to pure binary.

Back

OOP

Front

Object Oriented Programming: A method of programming which classifies real world objects into classes and encapsulates those objects attributes and behaviours.

Back

Low Level Language

Front

A language which is close to machine code. Related closely to the design of the machine. A one-to-one language

Back

Assembly Language

Front

A language which is related very closely to the computer's own machine code.

Back

Inheritance

Front

When a derived class is defined it also has all the attributes and methods of the base class.

Back

Indexed Addressing

Front

Modifies the address (either a direct or an indirect address) in the address field by the addition of a number held in a special-purpose registers, called an index register, before the address is used. Index registers are quickly and easily altered providing an efficient way of accessing a range of memory locations, such as in an array.

Back

Instantiation

Front

The process of creating an actual named instance of class. The instantiated named copy of the class in an object of that class.

Back

High Level Language

Front

A language designed to help a programmer express a computer program in a way that reflects the problem that is being solved, rather than the details of how the computer will produce the solution. One-to-many language.

Back

LMC

Front

Little Man Computer: An instructional model of a computer, created by Dr. Stuart Madnick in 1965. The LMC is generally used to teach students, because it models a simple von Neumann architecture computer - which has all of the basic features of a modern computer. It can be programmed in machine code or assembly code

Back

OO

Front

Object Orientation: Looking at systems by classifying them into real world objects

Back

Method

Front

A program routine contained within an object designed to perform a particular task on the data within the object. A method can broadly be thought of as a procedure / function from more traditional procedural programming languages.

Back

Class

Front

A type definition of an object

Back

Object

Front

An instance of a class.

Back

Subclass

Front

A class that extends another class. The subclass inherits the methods and attributes of the class it extends.

Back

Indirect Addressing

Front

Uses the address field to hold the address of a location that contains the required address.

Back

Attribute

Front

A single bit of data within a record

Back

Polymorphism

Front

A specialised form of overloading which allows us to create very general object structures, which can be used with a wide range of data types.

Back

Derived Class

Front

A derived class is any class that inherits attributes and methods from any other derived class or base class.

Back

Superclass

Front

A class that has been extended by another class. It allows the extending class to inherit its attributes and methods.

Back

Immediate Addressing

Front

Uses the data in the address field, not as an address, but as a constant that is needed by the program. An example is a routine counting up to 10, which may have the constant '10' supplied in the address field of an instruction. Although the address field cannot hold numbers as large as those that can be stored as data in a memory location, because space has to be left for the operation code field, this is a particularly convenient method of loading constants into the accumulator.

Back

Overriding

Front

A method in a subclass or derived class which has the same name as a method in one or more of its superclass's. The method supersedes all other versions of the method above it in the inheritance tree.

Back

Encapsulation

Front

All of the object's attributes are contained and hidden in the object and access to them is restricted to operations of that class.

Back

Direct Addressing

Front

Uses the data in the address field without alteration. This is the simplest method of addressing and also the most common.

Back

Procedural Language

Front

Any high level language in which program statements can be grouped in self-contained blocks called procedures and functions. These procedures have their own variables, not accessible outside the procedure.

Back

Base Class

Front

Base class contains attributes and methods. It is the highest class and does not inherit from any other class.

Back

Programming Paradigm

Front

The word 'paradigm' means to describe an example or pattern. In a Computing context, this means to describe a computational way of doing things. So a Programming Paradigm is a style or way of programming. E.g. Low-Level languages, High-Level languages, Declarative languages are all examples of different programming paradigms.
