Program correct answers Consists of instructions executing one at a time.
Input correct answers A program gets data, perhaps from a file, keyboard, touchscreen, network,
etc.
Process correct answers A programs performs computations on that data, such as adding two
values like x + y.
Output correct answers A programs puts that data somewhere, such as to a file, screen, network,
etc.
Computational thinking correct answers Creating a sequence of instructions to solve a problem.
Algorithm correct answers A sequence of instructions that solves a problem.
Statement correct answers Carries out some action and executing one at a time.
String literal correct answers Consists of text (characters) within double quotes, as in "Go #57!".
Cursor correct answers Indicates where the next output item will be placed in the output.
Newline correct answers A special two-character sequence \n whose appearance in an output
string literal causes the cursor to move to the next output line. The newline exists invisibly in the
output.
Comment correct answers Text added to a program, read by humans to understand the code, but
ignored by the program when executed.
, Whitespace correct answers Refers to blank spaces (space and tab characters) between items
within a statement, and to newlines. Whitespace helps improve readability for humans, but for
execution purposes is mostly ignored.
Pseudocode correct answers Text that resembles a program in a real programming language but
is simplified to aid human understanding.
Assignment statement correct answers Assigns a variable with a value, such as x = 5. An
assignment statement's left side must be a variable. The right side is an expression.Examples: x =
5, y = a, or z = w + 2.
= correct answers In programming, = is an assignment of a left-side variable with a right-side
value. It does not represent equality like in mathematics.
Variable declaration correct answers Declares a new variable, specifying the variable's name and
type.
Identifier correct answers A name created by a programmer for an item like a variable or
function. An identifier must: be a sequence of letters (a-z, A-Z), underscores (_), and digits (0-9),
AND start with a letter or underscore.
Reserved word or keyword correct answers A word that is part of the language, like integer, Get,
or Put. A programmer cannot use a reserved word as an identifier.
Lower camel case correct answers Abuts multiple words, capitalizing each word except the first,
such as numApples.
Underscore separated correct answers Words are lowercase and separated by an underscore, such
as num_apples.
