Y8 - Event Driven Programming

Code tracing

• The process of following code execution order, including variable values, useful for debugging.

• A method for optimizing code performance by analyzing execution time.

• A technique for writing code without errors from the start.

• A way to document code for future reference.

An Event

• An action taken by the user to interact with what is being displayed on the screen, such as entering user input, clicking buttons, or selecting menu options.

• A scheduled occurrence that takes place at a specific time and location.

• A notification sent to users about updates or changes in the system.

• A background process that runs without user interaction.

Screen

• A user interface element containing other UI elements visible at any one time.

• A type of hardware used to display images.

• A software application for editing images.

• A method for organizing files on a computer.

console.log

• A command to display the value of a variable or a message to help identify program status or errors.

• A method to create a new variable in JavaScript.

• A function to terminate a program immediately.

• A command to read user input from the console.

GUI

• Graphical User Interface. Parts displayed on screen that can be interacted with or seen.

• General User Interaction. A method for users to communicate with software.

• Graphical Utility Interface. A tool for managing system resources visually.

• Global User Integration. A framework for connecting users across platforms.

Event-driven program

• An algorithm detailing events that trigger actions, controlled by user input, text input, and networking requests.

• A program that runs in a continuous loop until a specific condition is met.

• A sequence of instructions that executes in a predetermined order without user interaction.

• A type of software that only processes data in batch mode without real-time input.

Decomposition

• Breaking down a problem or program into pieces to make solving or creating it more manageable.

• Combining multiple problems into a single solution for efficiency.

• Ignoring the complexities of a problem to find a quick solution.

• Creating a detailed plan before starting to solve a problem.

Element ID

• A unique name/label identifying components of the user interface used within event code.

• A numerical identifier for database records.

• A color code used for styling web elements.

• A timestamp indicating when an element was created.

User Interface (UI)

• The elements of a program that the user can interact with.

• The underlying code that runs a program.

• The database that stores user information.

• The network protocols used for communication.

Debugging

• The process of finding and correcting errors in a program or system.

• The act of writing code without any errors.

• The method of optimizing a program for better performance.

• The technique of designing user interfaces.
