sn
(short for binary digit) is the smallest unit of data in a computer. A bit has a single binary value, either 0 or 1
Bit
Puzzle-piece shapes that are used to create code in Snap!.
Blocks
hand simulating the execution of program code in order to manually verify that it works correctly
Tracing
occurs in a computer or similar device when a mathematical operation results in a number which is smaller than what the device is capable of storing.
Underflow Error
a data encoding and compression technique that deliberately discards some data in the compression process
Lossy Compression
a unit of data that is eight binary digits long. Bytes are often used to represent a character such as a letter, number, space
Byte
Different types of blocks linked together.
Scripts
the process of identifying and removing errors from computer hardware or software
Debugging
a minute area of illumination on a display screen, one of many from which an image is composed.

Algorithm
The background of a project, performs functions through scripting.
Stage
an error that occurs when calculated data cannot fit within the designated field.
Overflow Error
a problem solving approach (algorithm) to find a satisfactory solution where finding an optimal or exact solution is impractical or impossible.
Heuristic
programs that are made freely available and may be redistributed and modified;
open source
a sequence of instructions or steps, written in a language that can be
Program
a mistake in the algorithm or program that causes it to behave incorrectly or unexpectedly
Logic error
error that is produced when a computer is used to perform real number calculations because many real numbers can not be represented exactly on a computer.
Roundoff Error
a data compression algorithm that allows the original data to be perfectly reconstructed from the compressed data.
Lossless Compression
online research output free of any and all restrictions on access and free of many restrictions on use, such as copyright or license restrictions
