Algorithm

A programming language with many commands and features designed to make common tasks easier to program. Any high level functionality is encapsulated as combinations of low level commands.

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

High Level Programming Language

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.

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

A method of programming in which two programmers write code using a single computer. One programmer in the "driver" role uses the mouse and keyboard to actually write the code while a second acts as a "navigator", keeping track of the big picture, catching errors, and making suggestions. Programmers switch roles frequently and communicate throughout the process.

Low Level Programming Language

A classic method for learning programming with commands to control movement and drawing of an on-screen robot called a "turtle". The turtle hearkens back to early implementations in which children programmed a physical robot whose dome-like shape was reminiscent of a turtle.

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

A programming language with many commands and features designed to make common tasks easier to program. Any high level functionality is encapsulated as combinations of low level commands.

A programming language that captures only the most primitive operations available to a machine. Anything that a computer can do can be represented with combinations of low level commands.
