A collection of instructions that performs a specific task when executed by a computer.
Back
Computational Thinking
Front
Generalizing the skills necessary to solve open-ended problems procedurally.
Back
Coding
Front
Using a programming language to create a program.
Back
Text-Based Language
Front
Used in professional and learning environments to build high-level programs that store and process large amounts of data.
Back
RECTANGLE
Front
(X,Y , WIDTH, HEIGHT)
Back
Point:
Front
The location described by a coordinate pair is marked with a point. Points are locations on the coordinate plane.
Back
Programming Language
Front
Languages developed to communicate instructions to a computer.
Back
Debugging
Front
The practice of finding and removing errors from a program or collection of code.
Back
Square
Front
(X, Y, Shape)
Back
Triangle
Front
(X,Y, size)
Back
Origin:
Front
At location (0,0) on the coordinate plane, this is where the x and y axis cross. In Codesters, the origin is located at the center of the stage.
Back
(X,Y) Coordinates:
Front
These are also called ordered pairs and name locations on the coordinate plane. You can find these locations by counting out from the origin. the x-coordinate determines how far to move horizontally and the y-coordinate determines how far to move vertically.
Back
Algorithm
Front
A step-by-step procedure for solving specific computational problems.
Back
Circle
Front
(X, Y, Diameter)
Back
Comments:
Front
Text in your program that starts with a hashtag and is gray. It gives information about the code, but does not run or affect the program.
Back
Front-End Development
Front
Producing code for a website or web application so that a user can see and interact with it. Common languages include: Javascript, CSS, and HTML.
Back
Shape:
Front
A shape is a type of object.
Back
Block-Based Language
Front
Used in learning environments to teach programming concepts. Users can drag and drop blocks to build working programs.
Back
Double quotes:
Front
Surround strings in Python. They must be used in pairs before the beginning and at the end of a string.
Back
Commands:
Front
Instructions that the computer follows that makes action on the stage occur. You will use a series of commands to make a program.
Back
Back-End Development
Front
Producing code that is never visible to the user and is responsible for the behind-the-scenes functionality. The structure stores and processes data.
Back
Parameters:
Front
An integer, string, or variable that controls how a command is run. For example, the color of a rectangle is a parameter.
Back
Computer Science
Front
The study of the theory and use of computers.
Back
Coordinate plane:
Front
This is a flat area defined by an x-axis that runs horizontally (side to side) and a y-axis the runs vertically (up and down)
Back
Parentheses (parens):
Front
Parentheses gather together commands in Python. They must also be used in pairs. The left paren ( opens the bracket and the right paren ) closes it.
