Basics of Programming 1
This is giving a computer a set of instructions to execute.
What is programming?
This is a sequence of instructions that performs a specific task, packaged as a unit.
Function
Fill in the blank. You can access an item in a list by using its _________ position.
Index
This is a way of saving a piece of information with a specific name. These allow us store information, quickly reuse a value in our program, and easily change a value in our program.
What is a variable?
Fill in the blank. When we __________ a function, we specify the instructions, inputs, and name of the function.
Define
This is a structure in programming where the instructions are written once, but a computer can execute them multiple times.
What is a loop?
These tell us about the data, including how it can be stored and what types of operations we can perform.
Data Types
Fill in the blank. When we _______ a function, all of its instructions are executed.
Call
These are formats that we can use to keep track of our data in an organized fashion.
Data structures
Symbols that represent different ways of modifying, comparing, and evaluating information.
What are operators? (Arithmetic, Comparison, Logical)
This is the order in which instructions are executed.
Control flow
This type of loop is also called a count controlled loop. It is used when you know the number of times you want to execute a set of instructions.
What is a For Loop?
When we use a value without assigning it to a variable, is known as this.
What is hardcoding?
These alter control flow in a program. You learned three of these, each suited for a different scenario.
What are Control structures?
A condition controlled loop is as also called this.
What is while loop? It repeats a set of instructions while that condition is true
