Digital Information
Networks
Protocols
Intro Programming
Pot Luck
100
A contraction of "Binary Digit"; the single unit of information in a computer
Bit
100
the maximum amount of data that can be sent in a fixed amount of time, usually measured in bits per second
Bandwidth
100
An agreed-upon set of rules that specify the behavior of some system
Protocol
100
form of program documentation written into the program to be read by people and which do not affect how a program runs
Comment

Explain what the randomNumber code above will produce
a random number between 0 & 280
200
A process for reducing the number of bits needed to represent something without losing any information. This process is reversible.
Lossless Compression
200
A chunk of data sent over a network. Larger messages are divided into packets that may arrive at the destination in order, out-of-order, or not at all
Packet
200
a system of linked pages, programs, and files
World Wide Web
200
data that are sent to a computer for processing by a program
Input
200
Connection-oriented protocol that ensures reliable, ordered, and error-checked delivery of data packets
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol)
300
Error from attempting to represent a number that is too large
Overflow Error
300
a group of interconnected computing devices capable of sending or receiving data.
Computing Network
300
a protocol for sending data across the Internet that assigns unique numbers to each connected device
Internet Protocol (IP)
300
program statements run in order, from top to bottom
Sequential Programming
300
Finding and fixing problems in an algorithm or program
Debugging
400
Data that changes discretely through a finite set of possible values using samples
Digital Data
400
the series of connections between computing devices on a network starting with a sender and ending with a receiver
Path
400
the protocol used for transmitting web pages over the Internet
HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
400
Event Driven Programming - some program statements run when triggered by an event, like a mouse click or a key press
Event Driven Programming (Target)
400
A work or invention that is the result of creativity, such as a piece of writing or a design. to which one has rights.
Intellectual Property
500
Error from attempting to represent a number that is too precise. The value is rounded.
Round-off Error
500
A type of computer that forwards data across a network
Router
500
Connectionless, lightweight protocol optimized for speed rather than reliability
UDP (User Datagram Protocol)
500
the steps or phases used to create a piece of software. Typical phases include investigating, designing, prototyping, and testing.
Development Process
500
Explain what line 2 is.
Line 2 is a comment, instructions that the program ignores.
