Iteration

Front

Code that is repeated. Eg. a loop (While, Do While, For)

Back

Array

Front

A data structure where all of the data is stored and defined under one variable name. In Python, we call this a 'list' eg. x = [4,6,3,9]

Back

Boolean

Front

Data Type: can only take one of two values, usually TRUE or FALSE (can be yes/no)

Back

Casting

Front

The process of changing from one data type to another

Back

Constant

Front

A value that cannot be altered during the running of the program.

Back

Selection

Front

A condition determines whether code will be executed (Eg. IF or Case Select)

Back

Boolean: AND

Front

Both conditions must be true in order for the condition to apply eg: IF x==5 AND y==6: print ('launch')

Back

Character

Front

Data Type: a single letter or symbol Eg. 'A', '5', '%' etc.

Back

Sequence

Front

Code will be executed in order.

Back

Loop: Do While

Front

The loop starts at DO and repeats until the condition is FALSE. A DO loop always executes. DO value=value+1 WHILE value < 10

Back

Loop: Repeat

Front

A kind of iteration. In Python a repeat loop is created using the 'For' command eg: For i in range(1,6): will execute an instruction 5 times

Back

Real (or float)

Front

Data Type: numbers that have a decimal part Eg 3.14, 5.2, 100.0 etc

Back

Variable

Front

A location in memory whose value may change during the running of the program.

Back

Two Dimensional Array

Front

A two-dimensional array is similar to a one-dimensional array, but it can be visualised as a grid (or table) with rows and columns.

Back

Pseudocode

Front

A set of instructions in the style of a programming language, but using plain English.

Back

Switch Case

Front

A type of selection statement (an alternative to IF)

Back

Boolean: OR

Front

A Boolean operator where equivalence to either condition results in TRUE Eg. IF x==5 OR x==6: print (x)

Back

One Dimensional Array

Front

An array (Python list) where the data elements are organised in a row. eg. [8,7,4,3,1]

Back

Function

Front

A sub program that takes parameters and RETURNS a value.

Back

String

Front

Data Type: used to represent text, a collection of characters (can include a mixture of letters & numbers) Eg 'fred', '123xyz'

Back

Integer

Front

Data Type: a whole number Eg 1, 2, 3 etc

Back

Data Type

Front

How data is stored in computers. Tells the computer how the data will be used. Eg. string, integer etc.

Back

Boolean: NOT

Front

A Boolean operator used to compare one condition to another and return a value of TRUE or FALSE. Eg. IF NOT >=15: print ('Entrance Denied')

Back

Loop: While

Front

The loop starts by checking that the WHILE condition is TRUE and will execute until it is FALSE. A WHILE loop may not execute. Eg. total = 1 WHILE total < 10 total = total+1

Back

Procedure

Front

A sub-program that carries out a list of instructions. Different from a function, in that it does not return a value.

Back
