• algorithm

• compile

• pseudocode

The process a computer uses to translate a programming language into machine code that a computer or other digital device can understand

• algorithm

• debug

• compile

• verify

In programming, a statement that compares two values to see if a certain condition is true. If the condition is true, it runs a certain command or group of commands.

• debug

• conditional statement

• pseudocode

• algorithm

To identify and fix errors in a program.

• compile

• verify

An informal description of what a program should do written in normal everyday language.

• algorithm

• pseudocode

• pull-down resistor

• threshold

A resistor that sets the default value of a digital pin to LOW by dropping the

voltage to zero or near zero. It is connected between the digital pin and ground.
