Back

Compiler

Front

A program that translates instructions or code into a language that can be read or understood by a computer.

Back

Pixel

Front

Any one of the very small dots that together form the picture on a digital screen. The word pixel is short for picture element.

Back

Flowchart

Front

A diagram that represents an algorithm, work flow, or process, and uses geometric symbols connected by arrows to show the direction of the flow of action.

Back

Conditional Statement

Front

A command that performs different actions depending on whether a condition is true or false.

Back

Software

Front

Programs that run on a computer or other electronic devices.

Back

Increment

Front

To increase the value of a numeric variable by a set amount.

Back

Variable

Front

A placeholder in a device´s memory that stores a value a program is using.

Back

Live programming

Front

A programming environment where updates to a program during development automatically appear on the connected testing device.

Back

Design Brief

Front

A written plan that identifies a problem, its criteria, its constraints.The design brief is used to encourage thinking about all aspects of a problem before attempting a solution.

Back

Global

Front

A keyword used when declaring a variable ¨Global¨ makes the variable available to all the blocks in the program.

Back

Bug

Front

A flaw in a computer program that causes the program to produce an incorrect result or behavior

Back

Mobile application

Front

A type of software application design to run on mobile device, such as a smartphone or tablet computer.

Back

Boolean Logic

Front

A form of mathematics in which an expression is reduced to either true or false.

Back

Navigator

Front

The person who observes or reviews each line of code in a computer program as it is typed when two programmers are working together.

Back

Program

Front

A set of instructions that a computer executes to achieve a particular objective.

Back

Compilation Error

Front

Issues in a program´s code

Back

Database

Front

A collection of data that is stored permanently on a computer or device. A database is organized in a way that allows the programmer to access,update, and remove any data element as needed.

Back

Design Process

Front

A systematic, problem-solving strategy that designers follow to come up with a solution to a problem.

Back

Boolean

Front

A type of data in computing that a logical expression evaluates to. The only possible values for Boolean are true or false.

Back

Camelcase

Front

The writing of compound words ( Like variable names, procedure names, and file names.) by starting each word with a capital letter

Back

User Interface

Front

The visual part of a computer app or operating system, through which an end user interacts with the computing device or software.

Back

Pair programming

Front

Two people working together to create a computer program. One person, called the driver, writes the code and explains the logic, while the other person, called the navigator, reviews it and gives feedback.

Back

Universal Design

Front

The design of products or environments that can be used by all people without the need for adaptation or modifications.

Back

Algorithm

Front

An ordered set of instructions that are used to carry out a task.

Back

Number

Front

A type of data in computing that represents a numeric value. Number can be integers, decimals, and negative and positive numbers.

Back

View layer

Front

The layer of an app that the user sees and interacts with.

Back

Incremental approach

Front

An approach to programming where the programmer adds and tests code in small chunks at a time to make sure it behaves the way they want it to, before adding more code.

Back

Computer scientists

Front

Scientists who apply their knowledge of computation to creating solutions using a computer system.

Back

Text

Front

A type of data in computing that represents alphanumeric characters. Text includes any character that you can type on a computer, like letters, numbers, symbols, and punctuation. Also known as String data type.

Back
