• variable

• procedure

• broadcast

• loop

The process of applying or using a procedure and only knowing what the procedure does, without knowing how it does it.

• procedural abstraction

• broadcast

• loop

• Vex Coding Studio

A programming statement that evaluates a true/false Boolean expression to determine the next steps in a program. Conditional statements are often written as 'if-then' or 'if-then-else' statements.

• loop

• broadcast

• procedural abstraction

• conditional statement

One of two values, such as “true” or “false”, that allows a computer to know what step in the conditional statement process to execute next.

• variable

• int

• boolean

• string

The smallest unit of data storage that a program can use. A variable contains known or unknown information referred to as a “value”. Two types of variables are global and local
