An ______ is a set of steps to do a task or solve a problem.
Algorithm
What is a Syntax error?
Syntax errors break the rules of the programming language. A program cannot run until the syntax errors are corrected.
Bias is when...
Bias in computer science is the discrimination for or against certain groups or individuals. The bias can come from the data used or the way the code was written.
Bit is...
A bit is a binary digit, which can only be 0 or 1.
What is the difference between HTTP & HTTPS
HTTPS provides the secure processing of a web page. Always check for HTTPS before making a purchase online to ensure your credit card number is encrypted.
A _____ _____ is a sequential search of a dataset. It starts at the beginning and checks each value to see if it matches the target value being sought.
Linear search
What is a Logic error?
A logic error occurs when the code runs but produces incorrect results.
Digital divide is when...
The digital divide describes those who lack access to the Internet based on location, economic, or accessibility reasons.
Byte is...
A byte is made up of 8 bits.
World Wide Web (www) is...
The World Wide Web is an application that uses the Internet to share web pages, files, documents, images, and other forms of data.
A _____ _____ is an algorithm that uses a "divide and conquer" process. The data must be sorted, and each iteration searches in the middle of the dataset. After determining if the value is higher or lower than the value at the current position, the half of the dataset that does not contain the value is no longer included in subsequent iterations of the search.
Binary search
An overflow error occurs when a number is too large for the number of bits the programming language allocates for it. The sign bit for the number is flipped as the number "overflows" out of its assigned range of bits.
Crowdsourcing is when...
Crowdsourdng provides opportunities for anyone with access to a site to participate in various ways such as providing feedback, helping to solve problems, offering funding, or offering assistance finding employment.
Lossy data compression is...
Lossy data compression techniques can achieve more compression than lossless techniques, but some data is lost, and the original file cannot be restored.
Bandwidth is...
Bandwidth measures the amount of data that can be sent over a network in a fixed amount of time.
What does API stand for and what does it mean?
API stands for Application Programming Interface. APIs define how other programs can interface or interact with its programming module or application.
What is a Runtime error?
A runtime error occurs when the program is executing. The error may not occur each time the program runs but only when certain conditions exist, such as trying to divide by zero.
What is the difference between Open access & Open source
Open access is data that is open access is freely available online with limited, if any, copyright restrictions while Open-source is software available for anyone to use or modify without restrictions.
Lossless data compression is...
Lossless data compression is a technique to make files smaller and allows the original file to be restored when the data is decompressed.
A system, such as the Internet, is _____ _____ when redundancy is built in to ensure processing can occur even when sections of the system are not working.
Fault tolerant
An _________ problem is one where an algorithm cannot be written that returns a yes or no response for all inputs.
Undecidable problem
What is User interface?
The user interface includes all the ways a user would interact with a program, including providing input and reviewing output.
Intellectual property is when...
Anything a person creates using a computer is the intellectual property of that person.
Metadata is...
Metadata is data about data, such as the author of a document. It is used to help organize and find data.
Internet Protocol address (IPA) is...
An Internet Protocol address is a unique number assigned each time a device connects to the Internet. It is how the network knows where to find your device to get and send requested information.
