Definition

Pulling out specific differences to make one solution work for multiple problems.

• abstraction

• abstartion

• algorithm

• bug

A list of steps to finish a task. A set of instructions that can be performed with or without a computer. For example, that collection of steps to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich is an algorithm.

• code

• algorithm

• command

• binary

A way of representing information using only two options.

• code

• bug

• binary

• abstraction

An error in a program that prevents the program from running as expected.

• Wi-Fi

• code

• command

• bug

One or more commands or algorithm(s) designed to be carried out by a computer.

• data

• code

• event

• DNS

An instruction for the computer. Many commands put together make up algorithms and computer programs.

• loop

• command

• internet

• program

Mental processes and strategies that include: decomposition, pattern matching, abstraction, algorithms (decomposing problems into smaller, more manageable problems, finding repeating patterns, abstracting specific differences to make one solution work for multiple problems, and creating step-by-step algorithms).

• computer science

• debugging

• computational thinking

• data

A field in which people use the power of computers to solve big problems.

• DSL/cable

• DNS

• computer science

• event

Statements that only run under certain conditions or situations.

• username

• conditionals

• Wi-Fi

• URL

Getting help from a large group of people to finish something faster.
