Basic Coding Vocabulary

What is an algorithm?

• A sequence of instructions that is continually repeated until a certain condition is reached

• A process or set of rules to solve a problem

• A logical statement that results in a Boolean value

• A container for storing a value

What are properties in coding?

• A way of gradually increasing variables

• Characteristics of an object that we can use to describe and create it

• A container for storing a value

• Commands that run a specific block of code if something is true

What is the purpose of loops in coding?

• To add unpredictability to a game or app

• To perform math and establish relationships between variables

• To repeat a set of instructions until a certain condition is met

• To store a value

What is a Boolean Expression?

• A process or set of rules to solve a problem

• A container for storing a value

• A logical statement that results in a Boolean value

• A sequence of instructions for user interaction

What are conditional statements used for in coding?

• To describe and create objects

• To increase or decrease variables

• To run a specific block of code if something is true

• To add unpredictability to a game or app

What does the anacronym F.A.I.L. stand for?

• Final Attempt In Learning

• First Attempt In Learning

• Fundamental Application In Looping

What is a function in programming?

• A set of instructions that perform a task when called

• A type of programming language

• An error in a program

• A tool used for debugging

What is a bug in the context of programming?

• A feature that enhances the program

• A self-contained module of code

• An error in a program that prevents it from running correctly

• The white area on the right side of the workspace

When working with a program or app, what does debugging involve?

• Creating new functions

• Finding and fixing errors in programs

• Trying again and again, even if it is very hard

• Writing conditional statements

When writing a computer program, how is the workspace used?

• The area where bugs are listed

• The area where you can drag and drop commands to build your program

• The set of instructions that perform a task

• The statements that only run under certain conditions
