Scripting and Programming
Foundations - D278
Program - answer Instructions executing one at a time.
Computational Thinking - answer Creating a sequence of instructions to solve a
problem.
Algorithm - answer A sequence of instructions that solves a problem.
Flowchart - answer A graphical language for creating computer programs.
String Literal - answer Text in double quotes.
Comment - answer A text a programmer adds to a program, to be read by humans to
better understand the code. It is ignored by the program.
Whitespace - answer Any space, tab, or newline.
Moore's Law - answer The observation that computing power roughly doubles every two
years.
Embedded Computer - answer A specially designed computer chip that resides inside
another device, such as a car. These self-contained computer devices have their own
programming and typically neither receive input from users nor interact with other
systems.
Bit - answer A single binary digit: 1 or 0
Byte - answer8 bits
ASCII - answer American Standard Code for Information Interchange
Unicode - answer A symbol that enables most of the languages in the world to be
symbolized with a special character identification.
Decimal Numbers - answer Base ten numbers
Binary Numbers - answer Number system with a base of 2.
Variable - answer A named item.
