A single unit of information on a computer
Bit
Step 1 in Problem Solving
Understand the problem
A series of objects of the same type
An array
Raw input; information BEFORE it is processed
Data
A way of representing information using only two options
Binary
Number of bits in a byte
Eight
Step 2 in Problem Solving
Make a plan to solve the problem
Each object in an array
An element
Processed data
Information
A process to be followed or a set of instructions
Algorithm
Color values used for numeric representation in images
RGB (Red, Green, Blue)
Step 3 in Problem Solving
Carry out the plan
Start at the beginning, look at each item until you find it or there is no more data.
A linear search
When data is sorted in numerical, alphabetical, or some other order
Sorted data
The completion and repetition of a task
Iteration
Order of storage sizes after a byte, smallest to largest.
Kilobyte, Megabyte, Gigabyte, Terabyte
Step 4 in Problem Solving
Reflect on how the problem was solved
Search a sorted array by repeatedly dividing the search interval in half.
Data that is NOT arranged in any meaningful order
Unsorted data
A common representation of a numeric character
