Computer Science Principles Unit 1 Vocabulary Solutions

Strong Password

• A finite set of instructions that accomplish a specific task.Can be constructed using combinations of sequencing, selection, and iteration.

• The process of securing data to prevent unauthorized access.

• Easy for a user to remember but would be difficult for anyone to guess based on information of that user.

• The process of the process of breaking the security of data.

Algorithm

• A finite set of instructions that accomplish a specific task. Can be constructed using combinations of sequencing, selection, and iteration.

• The application of steps in order in which the code statements are given.

• A specific task that needs to be solved with certain input.

• A general description of a task that can or cannot be solved using programs.

Abstraction

• The method to implement the products of programs.

• Easy for a user to remember but would be difficult for anyone to guess based on information of that user.

• The process of reducing complexity by focusing on the main idea. By hiding details are irrelevant to the question at hand and bringing together related in useful details.

• A repeating step. Repeats a number of times until I given condition is met.

Sequencing

• Determines which parts executed based on a condition being true or false.

• The method to implement the products of programs.

• The process of reducing complexity by focusing on the main idea. By hiding details are irrelevant to the question at hand and bringing together related in useful details.

• The application of steps in order in which the code statements are given.

Selection

• The application of steps in order in which the code statements are given.

• A problem with the goal of finding the best solution among many.

• The process of the process of breaking the security of data.

• Determines which parts executed based on a condition being true or false.

Iteration

• A problem with a yes or no answer.

• A repeating step. Repeats a number of times until I given condition is met.
