REVIEW M2_2024 GR7

A digital data representation of a real-life scenario; the scenario is broken down into individual attributes, which are represented as data items in the model.

• Data model

• Simulation

• Algorithm

• Data

An additional set of functions that can be imported into a Python program.

• Library

• Operator

• Variable

• Execute

The process of breaking a problem down into smaller sub-problems to make it easier to solve.

• Iterative development/process

• Text-based quiz game

• Algorithm

• Decomposition

An application that uses rows and columns to organise data and carry out calculations using that data.

• Spreadsheet

• Simulation

• Data-capture form

• Data item

Used in a flowchart as a mini program inside a main program that can be completed or repeated when requested.

• Process

• Decision

• Terminator

• Sub-routine

A game in which the player types in answers to questions or puzzles.

• Process

• Text-based quiz game

• Algorithm

• Iterative development/process

A named temporary storage location within a program; it can hold one value and this value can be changed or used at any point in the program.

• Process

• Variable

• Iteration

• Conditional operator

A named place in memory that stores a value that does not change while the program is running.

• Requirements

• Implementation

• Constant

• Design

A computer program that represents a real-life scenario using formulae and can be used to predict outcomes.

• Spreadsheet

• Simulation

• Data-capture form

• Data item

A predefined document (electronic or paper based) that contains headings and instructions to collect appropriate data for a specific purpose.

• Validation

• Input mask
