Problem Solving & Game Development " Key Terms "

Algorithm

• An abstract or general procedure for solving a problem

• Based on a proprietary design for a personal computer called the Macintosh or Mac, manufactured almost exclusively by Apple Inc.

• An error that results when an instruction does not follow the syntax rules or grammar of the programming language

• A notational system for algorithms that combines English and a programming language

Syntax

• Designates input, output, and storage equipment that might be added to a computer system to enhance its functionality

• Uses a standard PC or Mac to run the Linux operating system

• Software that helps a peripheral device establish communication with a computer

• Grammar rules that create valid program statements

Structed English

• Vocabulary and syntax used by systems analysis to explain the logic of a process

• Grammar rules that create valid program statements

• A program or a set of program instructions that are designed to enter a computer and disrupt its normal operations

• DON'T CHOOSE ME!!!

Flow Chart

• A program or a set of program instructions that are designed to enter a computer and disrupt its normal operations

• A graphical representation of the way a computer should progress from one instruction to the next when it performs a task.

Pseudocode

• A notational system for algorithms that combines English and a programming language

• An abstract or general procedure for solving a problem

• Software that helps a peripheral device establish communication with a computer

Procedural Paradigm

• An approach to programming where the programmer defines the steps for solving a problem.

• A measure of the frequency equivalent to one billion cycles per second

Syntax error

• An approach to programming where the programmer defines the steps for solving a problem.

• A notational system for algorithms that combines English and a programming language
