WGU D684 - SECT 1, LES 1.1-4 - INTRO TO CS (KEYWORDS FOR
DATA TYPES, VARIABLES, CONSTRUCTS AND OPERATORS)
2025 UPDATE | WITH COMPLETE SOLUTION
analog data Answer - data represented in a continuous and variable form
American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) Answer - a
standard encoding system for text characters that uses numeric values to
represent letters, numbers, and symbols
bandwidth Answer - the maximum rate of data transfer across a network or
communication channel, usually measured in bits per second
binary Answer - a numerical system that uses only two digits, zero and one, to
represent data in computing
Boolean expression Answer - a logical statement that can only be true or false
and uses operators like AND, OR, and NOT
character Answer - a single letter, digit, or symbol used in writing text
character set Answer - a collection of characters that a computer can recognize
and process, like ASCII or Unicode
, compression ratio Answer - the ratio of the original data size to the
compressed data size, indicating how much the data has been reduced
control structure Answer - constructs in programming that control the flow of
execution, such as loops and conditional statements
data Answer - raw facts and figures that can be processed to produce
meaningful information
data compression Answer - the process of reducing the size of data to save
space or transmission time
data types Answer - categories of data that define what kind of value can be
stored, like integers, floats, and strings, and how it can be used
declaration Answer - a statement in programming that specifies the name and
type of a variable or function without assigning a value
digital data Answer - data represented using discrete binary values (zeroes and
ones)
floating point Answer - a way to represent real numbers that can have
fractional parts using a format that includes a base and an exponent
Huffman encoding Answer - a compression technique that uses variable-length
codes for data representation based on frequency of occurrence
information Answer - data that have been processed or organized in a
meaningful way to be useful
