syntax error - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅An error in a program that makes it impossible to parse — and

runtime error - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅An error that does not occur until the program has started to
execute but that prevents the program from continuing.

To the computer, nothing is wrong with the syntax. The problem is that the instructions are just plain
wrong.
Integer - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅All whole numbers (both positive and negative) and zero.

2. allow the programmer to refer to a complex piece of information with a simple name (called
abstraction)
ABS function - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅returns the absolute value of the number analyzed by the
function
Constant - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅A term without a variable
user input - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅'Input' is information supplied to a computer or program. 'Output' is
