Programming

A computer programming language, such as Python, JavaScript, and Ruby, that requires a program called an interpreter to execute the instructions written in the source code each time the application is run.

• Compiled language

• Interpreted language

• Assembly language

A way of giving computers precise, line-by-line instructions to follow. Computer programming uses programming languages.

• Runtime engine

• Container

• Computer programming

Specific, step-by-step procedures that illustrate how a problem will be solved.

• Encapsulation

• Algorithm

• Flowchart

An attribute attached to a value that tells the compiler or interpreter how the data should be used.

• Data type

• Identifier

• Function

A human-readable, low-level computer language that is a symbolic representation of binary machine language.

• Compiled language

• Assembly language

• Interpreted language

An OOP concept that describes how data and methods are bundled together within one unit or class.

• Encapsulation

• Pseudocode

• Algorithm

The logic in a program that tells the computer to repeatedly execute a sequence of instructions until a condition is reached.

• Container

• Branching

• Looping

The logic in a program that tells the computer to execute a specific part of the program rather than executing statements one-by-one, in order.

• Function

• Identifier

• Branching

A method that focuses on telling a computer what to do to reach a certain objective. It takes a linear, top-down approach to solving problems by creating routines and subroutines that perform computations.

• Procedural Programming

• Declarative Programming

• Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)

A set of protocols and tools that help programmers build applications that connect or communicate with databases, operating systems, and other services.

• Version Control Systems (VCS)

• Application Programming Interfaces (API)
