CSP EXAMINATION REVIEW SHEET
CONTAINING PROCTORED QUESTION SET
ALREADY GRADED PASSED
◉ Algorithm. Answer: A precise sequence of instructions for
processes that can be executed by a computer
◉ Function. Answer: A piece of code that you can easily call over and
over again.
◉ API. Answer: a collection of commands made available to a
programmer. Also, an interface for two programs to communicate
together.
◉ Documentation. Answer: a description of the behavior of a
command, function, library, API, etc.
◉ Library. Answer: a collection of commands / functions, typically
with a shared purpose
◉ Parameter. Answer: An extra piece of information that you pass to
the function to customize it for a specific need
,◉ For Loop. Answer: A particular kind of looping construct provided
in many languages. Typically, a for loop defines a counting variable
that is checked and incremented on each iteration in order to loop a
specific number of times.
◉ Loop. Answer: The action of doing something over and over again.
◉ Byte. Answer: technical term for 8 bits of data
◉ Kilobyte (KB). Answer: 1024 bytes
◉ Megabyte (MB). Answer: 1,024 kilobytes
◉ Gigabyte (GB). Answer: 1,024 megabytes
◉ Terabyte (TB). Answer: 1,024 gigabytes
◉ Petabyte (PB). Answer: 1,024 terabytes
◉ .bmp. Answer: (bitmap image file or bitmap) is a raster graphics
image file format used to store digital images.
◉ Heuristic. Answer: a problem solving approach (algorithm) to find
a satisfactory solution where finding an optimal or exact solution is
impractical or impossible.
, ◉ Image. Answer: A type of data used for graphics or pictures.
◉ Metadata. Answer: Data that describes other data. For example, a
digital image my include metadata that describe the size of the image,
number of colors, or resolution.
◉ Pixel. Answer: Short for "picture element" it is the fundamental
unit of a digital image, typically a tiny square or dot which contains a
single point of color of a larger image.
◉ Hexadecimal Number System. Answer: A number system
consisting of 16 distinct symbols — 0-9 and A-F — which can occur
in each place value.
◉ Lossless. Answer: A compression scheme in which every bit of the
original data can be recovered from the compressed file.
◉ Lossy. Answer: A compression scheme in which "useless" or less-
than-totally-necessary information is thrown out in order to reduce the
size of the data. The eliminated data is unrecoverable.
◉ RGB. Answer: the color model that uses varying intensities of
(R)ed, (G)reen, and (B)lue light added together in order to reproduce
a broad array of colors.
