Basic Coding Terminology

What is the action of doing something over and over again?

• Loop
• Persistence
• Program
• Code

What is a list of steps you can follow to finish a task?

• Algorithm
• Program
• Bug
• Code

Also known as Coding, it is the process of creating software.

• Computer Science

• Block Style Coding

• Computer Programming

• Parameter

Primary instructions that tells the computer what action to perform (e.g. run, jump, walk)

• Loop

• Command

• Sequence

• Algorithm

Solving problems with very specific sets of instructions because computers only do exactly what they are told to do.

• Computer Science

• Programming

• Parmeter

• Command

Instead of traditional, text-based programming, this type of coding involves dragging "blocks" of instructions.

• Algorithm

• Computer Science

• Command

• Block Style Coding

Details of instructions that adds more specific information about the command (e.g. direction, color, object to perform an action on)

• Command

• Sequence

• Parameter

• Loop

Creating a sequence of instructions, or an algorithm, that makes a computer do something.

• Computer Science

• Command

• Block Style Coding

• Programming

The step-by-step order in which instructions should occur.

• Loop

• Sequence

• Command

• Parameter

What do we call the person who writes the instructions for the computer to complete a task?

• architect
• programmer
• Bob
• composer
