Creative Development
the process of representing a real-world object of phenomenon as a set of mathematical equations.
What is Modeling?
provides a general way to access a collection of data.
What is Data Abstraction?
a step-by-step procedures for solving a particular problem.
What is an Algorithm?
An informal term for error in computer hardware or software -- the term was coined by Grace Hopper.
What is a Computer Bug?
defines a general data type like list that describes a collection of data without worrying about the specific implementation.
What is ADT?
refers to the process of adding realism to a computer graphics by adding 3-D qualities, such as shadows and variations in color and shade.
What is Rendering?
short for 'binary digit'
What is a Bit?
A blend of English and code used to write down an algorithm for a program.
What is Pseudocode?
relies on sharing resources online on the Internet rather than having data and process located on a personal computer.
What is Cloud Computing?
short for American Standard Code for Information Interchange is a character encoding scheme in which each character is represented by a 7-bit (originally) or 8-bit binary sequence. For example, the ASCII sequence 01000001 represents the letter 'A'.
What is ASCII?
short for 'picture element', is a single physical point in a raster image.
What is a Pixel?
equals 8 bits.
What is a Byte?
involves values, variables, and operators for example (a+b)/2
What is an Expression?
allows people to pinpoint their geolocation (geographic location) on Earth using satellites.
What is GPS?
a type of memory organization or image file format used to store digital images.
What is a Bitmap?
one million pixels, used in reference to the resolution of a graphics device.
What is a Megapixel?
an algorithm is one in which no data are lost; the original data can be completely recovered.
What is Lossless Compression?
The process of removing errors from computer hardware or software.
What is Debugging?
the number of 1s in the sequence add up to an even number.
What is an Even Parity?
data means to transmit data from a computer to an online repository or service such as a bulletin board service, or drop box, or network.
What is a Upload?
analog data refers to measuring values of the analog signal at regular intervals (usually in time or space) called samples in order to digitize it into a binary representation.
What is Sampling?
an algorithm is one in which some data are lost; the original data cannot be completely restored.
What is Lossy Compression?
Symbols like +,-,*,/ used for addition, subtraction, multiplication, division.
What is an Operator?
the number of 1s in the sequence add up to an odd number.
What is an odd parity?
to copy data (usually an entire file) from an online source to a personal computer.
What is a Download?
