This small electrical device on a computer chip acts as a switch, only having two states: on, off.
What is Transistor?
This data structure stores data adjacently and is zero-indexed
This is what 'GPT' stands for in ChatGPT
Who is Ada Lovelace?
This is a standardized markup language that is the foundational core of any webpage displayed in a browser
What is HTML?
This low-level language is commonly used for writing code that talks directly to hardware by manipulating memory itself, though its syntax is still recognizable in English.
What is C?
This searching algorithm searches every element in the data structure to find the target, worst case O(n)
What is linear search?
This is the basic unit of data, such as a word, part of a word, character, or punctuation mark, that an AI model reads and generates
What is Token?
This British mathematician and logician cracked the Enigma machine and formalized the foundational concepts of modern programming
Who is Alan Turing?
This is a tree structure of nodes, allowing programming languages like JavaScript to dynamically access and manipulate styling or other properties of a document
What is DOM?
This type of processor contains a CPU, memory, and pin connections all on a single chip to send and receive electrical signals to operate other devices.
What is a microcontroller?
This data structure stores and removes items following the First-in First-out principle
What is a stack?
This probability network maps conditional probability
What is a Bayesian Network?
This person was a co-founder of Microsoft alongside Bill Gates
Who is Paul Allen?
What does HTTP stand for
What is HyperText Transfer Protocol?
This is a type of special low-level software that is directly embedded directly into a hardware device's non-volatile memory.
What is Firmware?
This search algorithm explores as deep as possible before checking other paths
What is Depth-first-search?
This are conclusions a knowledge-based agent can make using pre-existing data
What is inference?
This law, coined in 1965, predicted that the number of transistors on a microchip would double about every two years
What is Moore's Law?
This specific HTTP status code is universally returned by a web server if a requested source could not be found
What is 404 (Not Found)?
This communication protocol sends data serially and support many peripherals even though it only require 2 wires.
What is I2C?
This data structure map items directly to the values calculated by some mathematical function that provides an index
What is a hash table/map?
This is an algorithm that explores every possible state of a game to decide the best possible moves
What is Mini-max?
This massive machine, completed in 1945, is often called the first general-purpose electronic computer
What is ENIAC?
This is a popular rendering strategy that involves the server sending a bare HTML file to the browser, which then downloads a JavaScript bundle to run and manage the UI application locally
What is Client-Side Rendering?
