> - (ANSWER)a comparison operator used to compare if one operator is greater than another
>= - (ANSWER)a comparison operator used to compare if one operator is greater than or equal to
another
abstraction - (ANSWER)Focus on the essential qualities of something rather than one specific example.
actors - (ANSWER)In a use case, this is anything who lives outside of your system, but has a goal they
want to accomplish within.
algorithm - (ANSWER)A set of commands that returns a value. This differs from a procedure, which is a
set of commands that doesn't necessarily have to return a value.
append() - (ANSWER)Mutates <List> by adding <Element> to the end of the list.
arguments - (ANSWER)The inputs to a procedure. (may also be called parameters)
attributes - (ANSWER)Characteristics of an object which may be used to reference other objects or save
object state information.
<name> = <expression> - (ANSWER)This is an assignment statement. A variable is named and also
assigned a value or expression. If multiple values are assigned to the same named variable, the last
assignment is the one used.
base case - (ANSWER)An expression that has a value and is not defined in terms of some other thing we
are defining. This breaks the chain of recursion.
Boolean - (ANSWER)A value that is either True or False
