Unit 3 lesson 4-8

A precise sequence of instructions for processes that can be executed by a computer

• Algorithm

• Iterate

• Selection

• Sequencing

To repeat in order to achieve, or get closer to, a desired goal.

• Algorithm

• Iterate

• Selection

• Sequencing

A generic term for a type of programming statement (usually an if-statement) that uses a Boolean condition to determine, or select, whether or not to run a certain block of statements.

• Algorithm

• Iterate

• Selection

• Sequencing

Putting commands in correct order so computers can read the commands.

• Algorithm

• Iterate

• Selection

• Sequencing

a named group of programming instructions. Functions are reusable abstractions that reduce the complexity of writing and maintaining programs

• Function

• Abstraction

• Algorithm

• Iterate

a simplified representation of something more complex. Abstractions allow you to hide details to help you manage complexity, focus on relevant concepts, and reason about problems at a higher level.

• Algorithm

• Iterate

• Abstraction

• Function

a problem solving approach (also known as stepwise design) in which you break down a system to gain insight into the sub-systems that make it up.

• Bottom Top Design

• Left Right Design

• Right Left Design

• Top Down Design

a collection of commands made available to a programmer

• API

• Documentation

• Library

• Parameter

a collection of commands / functions, typically with a shared purpose

• Api

• Documentation

• Library

• Parameter

An extra piece of information that you pass to the function to customize it for a specific need.

• Parameter

• Library

• Hexadecimal

• API
