Unit 1
Which term describes a common model of programming that facilitates collaboration by having two programmers work together on the same code?
What is Pair Programming?
A mistake in the program that occurs during the execution of a program (e.g., trying to divide by zero) is called a(n):
What is Run-time error?
Organizing data into meaningful groups, often by assigning labels or categories.
What is classifying data?
A prejudice in favor of or against one thing, person, or group compared with another, usually in a way considered to be unfair.
What is Bias?
An expression that can be evaluated to determine if a course of action should be taken, resulting in a Boolean value, is called a(n):
What is Condition?
a collection of program statements that perform a specific task when run by a computer
What is a Program?
An innovation that includes a program as an integral part of its function (e.g., self-driving car, picture editing software) is a:
What is Computing Innovation?
Data about data, often used to describe the characteristics of a resource.
What is Metadata?
The smallest unit of data in a computer, represented by a single 0 or 1
What is Bit?
An ordered, mutable sequence that can store a collection of different data types.
What is List?
A written description of the function of a code segment, event, procedure, or program and how it was developed is known as:
What is Program Documentation?
The effective way to find and correct errors to ensure that a program works as intended is called:
What is Debugging?
Data that is continuous and varies smoothly over a range of values, like sound waves.
What is Analog Data?
a sequence of eight bits
What is Byte?
The design principle of breaking a program into smaller, reusable, and self-contained units (like functions or classes) is known as:
What is Modularity?
A development process that breaks the problem into smaller pieces and makes sure each piece works before adding it to the whole is called:
What is Incremental Development Process?
The inputs and outputs (like buttons, menus, and graphics) that allow a user to interact with a piece of software is known as the:
What is User Interface?
The capacity of a system to handle a growing amount of work, or its potential to be enlarged to accommodate that growth.
What is Scalability?
An error that occurs when a calculation produces a result that is too large to be stored in the available memory space.
What is Overflow Error?
Any continuous section or portion of an existing string.
What is Substring?
A mistake in the algorithm or program that causes it to behave incorrectly or unexpectedly is a(n):
What is Logic Error?
The process of removing or simplifying complex details to focus on essential components.
What is Abstraction?
A data compression technique that allows the original data to be perfectly reconstructed from the compressed data.
What is Lossless Data Compression?
The action of storing a value into a named storage location is accomplished by a(n):
What is Assignment Statement?
the named storage location in a computer's memory that can hold a value which may change during program execution
What is Variable?
