CSE 2026 Semester 1 Vocabulary

sprint task list

• algorithmic structure for performing the instructions multiple times, with each pass through the loop called an iteration. It is usually controlled by a condition evaluated with each iteration.

• a list of small, specific tasks to be completed during the current sprint in the Scrum method of software development

• a repeating portion of an algorithm. Iteration repeats a specified number of times or until a given condition is met. It is also used to refer to a single execution of that repetitive procedure.

  
  

Problem decomposition:

• a list of small, specific tasks to be completed during the current sprint in the Scrum method of software development

  
  

• a repeating portion of an algorithm. Iteration repeats a specified number of times or until a given condition is met. It is also used to refer to a single execution of that repetitive procedure.

  
  

• the process of breaking a complex problem or system into parts that are easier to conceive, understand, program, and maintain

Loop

• algorithmic structure for performing the instructions multiple times, with each pass through the loop called an iteration. It is usually controlled by a condition evaluated with each iteration.

• to decrease, usually by 1

• a description of the parts of a program where a particular variable can be accessed and modified

  
  

decrement

• a description of the parts of a program where a particular variable can be accessed and modified

  
  

• to decrease, usually by 1

• a list of small, specific tasks to be completed during the current sprint in the Scrum method of software development.

  
  

scope

• a description of the parts of a program where a particular variable can be accessed and modified

• a sequential and prioritized list of what needs to be done to create the app the user wants. The list can be technical requirements or user centric in the form of user stories.

• to decrease, usually by 1

backlog

• a description of the parts of a program where a particular variable can be accessed and modified

  
  

• a named group of programming instructions that may have parameters and return values. Procedures are referred to by different names, such as method or function, depending on the programming language.

procedure

• a named group of programming instructions that may have parameters and return values

• a series of conditionals that a computer moves through until it finds the one that is true

argument

• a named group of programming instructions that may have parameters and return values. Procedures are referred to by different names, such as method or function, depending on the programming language.

  
  

• the variable or value that a program provides to a function or subroutine

  
  

• an expression with relational operators that evaluates to either true or false

  
  

chained conditional statement:

• a series of conditionals that a computer moves through until it finds the one that is true

• a comparison, usually in a while or if statement, that evaluates to a Boolean value of true or false

  
  

• an expression with relational operators that evaluates to either true or false
