Logic
The name of true/false logic.
Boolean
The order that a computer follows to execute a code.
Sequence
The process that programmers use to develop solutions using computers.
Problem Solving
Predictable, repeated components that allow us to process information efficiently and draw conclusions.
Shape of a block that starts an event.
Curved (hat shaped)
Formal name of an if-then statement.
Conditional Statement
Pseudocode
The first step in problem solving.
Identify the Problem
The four cornerstones of computational thinking.
Pattern recognition, decomposition, abstraction, algorithms
Code structure signaled by a repeat bracket.
Loop
The part of a conditional statement that follows "if."
Hypothesis
Sequence the cards from low to high, assuming ace is high: J, K, A, Q
J, Q, K, A
The step in problem solving where code is written.
Take Action (Execute)
Filtering out extra information to identify the essential components of a problem.
Abstraction
Command block that will make a Sprite appear on the stage.
show
The part of a conditional statement that follows "then."
Conclusion
The sequence to draw a house: color shapes, draw triangle above rectangle, draw rectangle.
Draw rectangle, draw triangle above rectangle, color shapes.
The step in problem solving that evaluates whether a solution solved the problem.
Test
Breaking a large script into smaller classes and objects.
Decomposition
Color of motion blocks.
Blue
Three Boolean operators.
AND, OR, NOT
The line where a computer will stop executing the code:
Line 1: A = 2
Line 2: B = 10
Line 3: D/2 = C * B
Line 3
A word that describes a repeating process.
Iterative
A recipe or set of instructions.
Algorithm
Shape of Boolean blocks.
