Mid-Unit 3:Vocabulary and Programming Concepts

What is an algorithm?

• A finite set of instructions that accomplish a specific task.

• A high-level textual algorithm written in informative text.

• A software program that translates a programming language.

• A geometric shape where all sides are of an equal length.

What is pseudocode?

• A high-level textual algorithm written in informative text that mimics a programming language but cannot be executed by a computer.

• A finite set of instructions that accomplish a specific task.

• A software program that translates a programming language.

• A geometric shape where all sides are of an equal length.

What does it mean to debug?

• To identify and remove errors from a computer program or code.

• To execute an algorithm step by step.

• To store or update a value in a named variable.

• To script math equations and string handling.

What is a high-level programming language?

• A programming language that is easier to use, may incorporate natural language, and hide or automate some processes.

• A collection of binary digits or bits that the computer reads and interprets.

• A software program that translates a programming language.

• A geometric shape where all sides are of an equal length.

What is natural language?

• Language that is spoken and understood by humans but cannot be processed by the computer.

• A collection of binary digits or bits that the computer reads and interprets.

• A software program that translates a programming language.

• A geometric shape where all sides are of an equal length.

What is machine language?

• A collection of binary digits or bits that the computer reads and interprets.

• Language that is spoken and understood by humans but cannot be processed by the computer.

• A software program that translates a programming language.

• A geometric shape where all sides are of an equal length.

What is a compiler?

• A software program that translates a programming language into machine language so a computer can understand.

• A collection of binary digits or bits that the computer reads and interprets.

• Language that is spoken and understood by humans but cannot be processed by the computer.

• A geometric shape where all sides are of an equal length.

What is an assignment in programming?
