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

• algorithm

• high level programming language

• low level programming language

• abstraction

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

• algorithm

• high level programming language

• low level programming language

• abstraction

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

• algorithm

• high level programming language

• low level programming language

• abstraction

A programming language that captures only the most primitive operations available to a machine.

• algorithm

• high level programming language

• low level programming language

• abstraction

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

• pair programming

• sequencing

• selection

• iterate

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.

• pair programming

• sequencing

• selection

• iterate

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

• pair programming

• sequencing

• selection

• iterate

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.

• turtle programming

A classic method for learning programming with commands to control movement and drawing of an on-screen robot.
