 GLOSSARY

algorithm- a process or set of rules to be followed in calculations or other problem-

operations, especially by a computer.

Boolean- denoting a system of algebraic notation used to represent logical propositions

by means of the binary digits 0 (false) and 1(true), especially in computing
and
electronics.

Character- A character is any letter, number, space, punctuation mark, or symbol that
can
be typed on a computer.

Constant- Data values that stay the same every time a program is executed are known
as
constants. Constants are not expected to change .

Data type - A particular kind of data item, as defined by the values it can take, the
programming language used, or the operations that can be performed on it.

Debugging - the process of identifying and removing errors from computer hardware or
Software.

Execution- Execution and software engineering is the process by which a computer or

virtual
Machine reads and acts on the instructions of a computer program.

Flowchart- A flowchart is a picture of the separate steps of a process in sequential order

it’s
A generic tool that can be used to describe various processes such as,
manufacturing
 Process, an administration or service process, or a project plan.

High level- denoting a programming language that is relatively accessible to the user,
having
instructions that resemble a natural language such as English.

Integer- An integer is a datum of integral data type. Integers are commonly represented
in
A computer as a group of binary operations.

Iteration- a new version of a piece of computer hard or software.

Logical operators- A logical operator is a symbol or word used to connect two or more
expressions such that the value of the compound expression produced
depends only on that of the original expressions and on the meaning of
the
operator.

Low level language- A language is a programming language that provides little or no

abstraction from a computer’s instruction set.

Programming language- A programming language is a formal language comprising a set of

strings that produce various kinds of machine code output.

Pseudocode- A notation resembling a simplified programming language, used in

program design.

Real numbers- On a computer, a real number is often called a floating point number.
Floating
 Point number. Floating point numbers are stored in a fixed number of bits
Of computer memory.

Float numbers- in computing, floating-point arithmetic is arithmetic using formulaic

representation of real numbers as an approximation to support a trade-off
between range and precision.
Relation operators - A relational operator is a programming language constructor
Operator that defines some kind of relation between two entities.

Source code- a text listing of command to be compiled or assembled into an excutable

computer program.

String- a string is traditionally a sequence of characters; either as a literal constant

Or as same kind of variable.

Testing- testing is the process of evaluating a system or its component(s) with the intent
to
Find whether it satisfies the specified requirements or not.

Variables- variables are data values that can change when the user is asked a question.
Variables may change during program execution.
