Algorithms and Programming
This is the data type that represents the two truth values: true or false.
What is a Boolean?
This protocol is responsible for routing and delivering packets across the Internet.
What is IP?
A single unit of binary information that can be either 0 or 1 is known as this.
What is a bit?
This term refers to the gap between those who have access to technology and the Internet and those who don't.
What is the digital divide?
In programming, hiding complex implementation details and exposing only a simple interface or function name is known as this.
What is abstraction?
This type of error occurs when a program runs without crashing but produces an unexpected or incorrect output.
What is a logic error?
This acronym stands for the system that translates human-readable domain names (like xyz.com) into numerical IP addresses.
What is DNS?
This is the process of reducing the size of data to save space or transmission time without losing any of the original data.
What is lossless compression?
This occurs when a computing innovation reflects pre-existing human biases in data or design, leading to unfair or discriminatory results.
What is computing bias?
What is 24?
This is the output of the expression 13 MOD 4
What is 1?
This concept is built into the Internet, allowing a network to continue to function even if individual connections or devices break or fail.
What is fault tolerance?
When analyzing raw datasets, this preliminary process is required to remove errors, duplicates, and inaccurate information.
What is data cleaning/filtering?
This digital model involves obtaining services, ideas, or content from a large, online group of people (often via an open call rather than traditional employees).
What is crowdsourcing?
This form of development allows for diverse perspectives, reduced computing bias, and the inclusion of various user feedback.
What is collaboration?
This type of searching algorithm requires a dataset to be sorted before it can be executed.
What is a binary search?
This type of computing, fundamental to the Internet, uses multiple connected devices to run parts of a program simultaneously to solve larger problems and with increased efficiency.
What is parallel computing?
If a program tries to represent an integer larger than the maximum value the system can store in its allocated bits, it results in this type of error.
What is an overflow error?
This is a public license that allows creators to share their work with the public under certain conditions, rather than enforcing strict copyright.
What is a Creative Commons license?
This type of abstraction allows programmers to manage complexity by using a single list name to store multiple related elements.
What is data abstraction?
This is a problem for which no algorithm can be built that always provides a correct yes-or-no answer for all possible inputs.
What is an undecidable problem?
This protocol ensures secure communication over the Internet, often relying on public key encryption to protect data.
What is HTTPS?
This is the process of using computers and algorithms to extract hidden trends, patterns, and new knowledge from (massive) amounts of unstructured data.
What is data mining?
This is a type of cyberattack where multiple compromised systems are used to flood a server or website with traffic, denying access to real users.
What is a DDoS attack? (Extra points for "Distributed Denial of Service attack!")
This is a problem-solving approach designed to find an approximate, "good enough" solution when finding the exact best solution is too computationally expensive.
What is a heuristic approach?
