CS 1

The process of taking away or removing characteristics from something in order to make it less complex. The product should be a new representation of essential characteristics. The new representation hides details that are irrelevant to the problem at hand.

• Abstraction

• Biometric

• Coding

• Analog

Detailed, step-by-step instructions for solving a problem or completing a task.

• Abstraction

• Algorithm

• Binary

• Debug

A defining characteristic of data; analog data are stored in a continuous transmission of a signal. It is often contrasted with digital, which is how computers store and process data as a set of individual symbols.

• Conditional

• Artifact (computational)

• Analog

• Decomposition

Anything created by a human using a computer.

• Algorithm

• Artifact (computational)

• Biometric

• Coding

A number system using only on the numerals 0 and 1.

• Algorithm

• Computer Science

• Binary

• Python

The measurement and analysis of unique physical or behavioral characteristics (such as fingerprint or voice patterns) especially as a means of verifying personal identity.

• Biometric

• Analog

• Java

• Conditional

A visual representation of common sets of instructions for coding that can be organized to create computer programs; block-based programing is often used to teach coding to younger or novice learners.

• Design Process

• Block-based programming language

• Curate

• C++

Creating a computer program.

• Debug

• Coding

• Conditional

• Hardware

A problem-solving process used to formulate problems in a way that a computer and other tools could be used to help solve.

• Computational Thinking

• Block-based programming language
