Programming Errors and Concepts

Computer Network

• A group of interconnected computing devices capable of sending or receiving data.

• A single computer that operates independently without any connections.

• A type of software used for managing databases.

• A collection of websites linked together on the internet.

Binary search

• An algorithm that searches a sorted list for a value by repeatedly splitting the list in half.

• A method for sorting a list of values in ascending order.

• An algorithm that finds the maximum value in a list.

• A technique for searching unsorted data efficiently.

UDP (User Datagram Protocol)

• A lightweight data transport protocol with minimal error checking.

• A protocol used for secure data transmission.

• A connection-oriented protocol for reliable communication.

• A protocol that guarantees data delivery and order.

phishing

• An attack where a user is tricked into revealing private information, often via a deceptive email.

• A method of securing data by encrypting it before transmission.

• A type of malware that infects a computer system.

• A technique used to improve website loading speed.

symmetric encryption

• A technique for encrypting data where the same key is used to both encrypt and decrypt data.

• A method of encrypting data using two different keys for encryption and decryption.

• A process that involves breaking data into smaller pieces before encryption.

• A technique that uses a public key for encryption and a private key for decryption.

Digital Divide

• The concept that all communities have equal access to technology.

• The idea that some communities or populations have less access to computing than others, typically due to limitations of Internet speed or computer hardware access.

• The belief that technology will eventually eliminate all social inequalities.

• The notion that digital literacy is not necessary for modern communication.

Syntax error

• A mistake in typed code that violates the rules of the programming language. Typically, code with syntax errors will not run.

• A logical error that occurs when the program runs but produces incorrect results.

• A runtime error that occurs when the program is executed and encounters an unexpected condition.

• A warning that indicates potential issues in the code but does not prevent it from running.

Linear search

• An algorithm that iterates through each item in a list until it finds the target value.

• An algorithm that sorts a list in ascending order.

• An algorithm that divides the list into halves to find the target value.

• An algorithm that uses a hash table to find the target value.

Scalability

• The ability of a system to adjust in scale to meet new demands.

• The process of reducing the size of a system to save resources.

• The capability of a system to operate without any downtime.

• The ability of a system to maintain performance under increased load.

cookie

• A small amount of text that tracks information about a user visiting a website.

• A type of dessert made from flour, sugar, and other ingredients.

• A program that runs on a user's computer to enhance their browsing experience.

• A security feature that protects user data on websites.
