A collection of program statements that are part of program

An international encoding standard for use with different languages and scripts, by which each letter, digit, or symbol is assigned a unique numeric value that applies across different platforms and programs.

A programming concept. A feature that allows a sprite to create a copy of itself while the project is running.

A statement or expression that is evaluated to determine an outcome: repeat until, if, while, forever if

Simplified representations of more complex objects of phenomena that are developed to explain the subject, allow further study of the subject, allow for the testing of different conditions on the subject, or to formulate and research hypotheses about the subject. They use algorithms and abstraction

A reusable collection of statements that decrease the lines of code in a program, increase the readability of the program and decrease the chance of errors or bugs inside a program.

Operator precedence in an expression. For mathematical operators  the precedence is the same as mathematics Parentheses, exponents, and roots. Multiplication and Division. Addition and subtraction. - from left to right

A diagram that depicts a process, system or computer algorithm. They are widely used in multiple fields to document, study, plan, improve and communicate often complex processes in clear, easy-to-understand diagrams.

AND, OR: operators that can be used to combine logical expressions; NOT: operator used to indicate the opposite of a logical expression

Symbols used in computer programming to compare two values and determine if a relationship between them is true or false  (>, <, =, >=, <=. !=)

An algorithm can select between two alternative paths based on some condition

Formal arguments or values that are passed into a procedure as input. They allow for the same procedure to be called but to produce different outcomes for different inputs.

A combination of operators and values that evaluates to a single value.

The fundamental program structure that repeats an algorithm for a purpose - either a set number of times or until a condition is met. One of the 3 fundamental algorithm or programming structures

A high level textual algorithm written in informative text that mimics a programming language but cannot be executed by a computer.

Reusable collection of statements, also referred to as methods, functions, or methods. They can be  created by the programmer or defined within a library

Language that is spoken and understood by humans but cannot be processed by the computer.

A software program that translates a programming language to machine language so a computer can understand

A line of executable code

A programming language that is easier to use, may incorporate natural language and hide or automate some processes.  High-level of abstraction.

Execution of an algorithm or program, step by step, from top to bottom, where one line of code finishes before the one below it begins. One of the 3 fundamental algorithms or programming structures.
