CSIM Activity 1.3 Vocabulary (PLTW)

Front

What are LED lights?

Back

LED stands for Light Emitting Diode. They are energy-efficient lights used in various applications, including classrooms.

Front

What is an emulator?

Back

An emulator is a simulator that imitates a program or events, allowing users to run software from one system on another.

Front

What are iterations in programming?

Back

Iterations refer to the process of repeating steps in a program to refine and improve its functionality.

Front

What does 'input' mean in computer science?

Back

Input refers to the data or information that is entered into a computer system for processing.

Front

What is block-based programming?

Back

Block-based programming is a visual programming method where users create programs by stacking blocks that represent code.

Front

What is the purpose of using iterations?

Back

The purpose of using iterations is to continuously improve a work product by refining and testing it multiple times.

Front

How do keyboards and mice function as input devices?

Back

Keyboards and mice allow users to input data and commands into a computer, enabling interaction with software.

Front

What is the significance of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in technology?

Back

LEDs are significant for their energy efficiency, long lifespan, and versatility in various applications, including displays and lighting.

Front

What is the difference between an emulator and a simulator?

Back

An emulator replicates the functionality of one system on another, while a simulator mimics the behavior of a system without replicating its exact functions.

Front

Why are iterations important in programming?

Back

Iterations are important because they allow programmers to test, debug, and enhance their code through repeated cycles.
