WGU D684 - INTRODUCTION TO
COMPUTER SCIENCE - SECTION 3
CORRECT 100%
array - ANSWERa collection of items stored at contiguous memory locations; each item
can be accessed using an index
binary search - ANSWERa search algorithm that finds the position of a target value
within a sorted array by repeatedly dividing the search interval in half
bubble sort - ANSWERa simple sorting algorithm that repeatedly steps through a list,
compares adjacent elements, and swaps them if they are in the wrong order
concrete step - ANSWERa detailed action in an algorithm that specifies exactly how to
perform a task
count-controlled loop - ANSWERa loop that repeats a specific number of times;
controlled by a counter variable (e.g., 'for' loop)
desk checking - ANSWERa manual method of reviewing the logic of a program or
algorithm using a pencil and paper instead of a computer
event-controlled loop - ANSWERa loop that continues to execute until a specific
condition or event occurs, such as user input or a sensor reading
heterogeneous - ANSWERa term describing a collection of items that are of different
types
homogenous - ANSWERa term describing a collection of items that are all of the same
type
index - ANSWERa numerical representation of an element's position within an array or
list
insertion sort - ANSWERa sorting algorithm that builds the final sorted array one item at
a time by inserting each new item into its correct position
processing - ANSWERthe act of performing operations on data according to a set of
instructions to achieve a desired result
record - ANSWERa composite variable that can store multiple fields of different data
types, usually related to a single entity
