What is a Computing Device?
The process of simplifying complex ideas by focusing on fundamental elements and removing unnecessary, specific, or concrete details.
What is Abstraction
Holds a value.
What is a Variable?
A relationship between two pieces of data, typically referring to the amount that one varies in relation to the other.
What is a correlation?
A process for reducing the number of bits needed to represent something in which some information is lost or thrown away. This process is not reversible
What is Lossy Compression?
A group of interconnected computing devices capable of sending or receiving data.
What is a Computing Network?
Data that are sent to a computer for processing by a program. Can come in a variety of forms, such as tactile interaction, audio, visuals, or text.
What is Input?

What is an int (integer)?
Data that does not accurately reflect the full population or phenomenon being studied.
What is data bias?
The single unit of information in a computer
What is a Bit?
The series of connections between computing devices on a network starting with a sender and ending with a receiver.
What is a Path?
Any data that are sent from a program to a device.
What is Output?
Stores decimal numbers.
What is a float?
A search algorithm that starts at the middle of a sorted set of numbers and removes half of the data; this process repeats until the desired value is found or all elements have been eliminated.
What is a binary search?
Error from attempting to represent a number that is too large.
What is an Overflow Error?
An agreed-upon set of rules that specify the behavior of some system.
What is a Protocol?
Program statements run in order, from top to bottom.
What is Sequential?
Allows a program to change the value represented by a variable.
What is an Assignment Operator?
Returns the remainder of a division problem.
What is Modulus?
Data with values that change continuously, or smoothly, over time.
What is Analog Data?
A chunk of data sent over a network. Larger messages are divided into these that may arrive at the destination in order, out-of-order, or not at all.
What is a Packet?
Form of program documentation written into the program to be read by people and which do not affect how a program runs.
What is a Comment?
The symbol == represents what type of Operator?
What is a Comparison Operator?
Returns true when either expression is true and false otherwise.
What is the OR Boolean Operator?
A process for creating a digital representation of analog data by measuring the analog data at regular intervals.
What is Sampling?
Can continue to function even in the event of individual component failures.
What is Fault Tolerant?
Finding and fixing problems in an algorithm or program.
What is Debugging?
A named group of programming instructions. Also referred to as a 'procedure' also referred to as a 'method'
What is a Function?
A collection of values (elements)
What is a list?
A work or invention that is the result of creativity, such as a piece of writing or a design, to which one has rights and for which one may apply for a patent, copyright, trademark, etc.
What is Intellectual Property?
a protocol for sending data across the Internet that assigns unique numbers (IP addresses) to each connected device
What is Internet Protocol (IP)?
This occurs when the ending condition will never evaluate to true.
What is an Infinite loop?
Will run code if a condition is met.
What is a conditional? (If statement)
The system responsible for translating domain names into IP addresses.
What is Domain Name System (DNS)?
A process for reducing the number of bits needed to represent a piece of information
What is compression?
A type of computer that forwards data across a network .
What is a router?
A "good enough" method used to solve problems or make decisions quickly, prioritizing efficiency over perfect accuracy.
What is heuristic?
A data type that is either true or false. .
What is a Boolean variable?
Provides a "good enough" solution to a problem when an actual solution is impractical or impossible.
What is a Heuristic?
