API - a collection of commands made available to a programmer. Also, an interface for two programs to communicate together. Documentation - a description of the behavior of a command, function, library, API, etc. Library - a collection of commands / functions, typically with a shared purpose Parameter - An extra piece of information that you pass to the function to customize it for a specific need For Loop - A particular kind of looping construct provided in many languages. Typically, a for loop defines a counting variable that is checked and incremented on each iteration in order to loop a specific number of times. Loop - The action of doing something over and over again. Byte - technical term for 8 bits of data Kilobyte (KB) - 1024 bytes Megabyte (MB) - 1,024 kilobytes Gigabyte (GB) - 1,024 megabytes Terabyte (TB) - 1,024 gigabytes Petabyte (PB) - 1,024 terabytes .bmp - (bitmap image file or bitmap) is a raster graphics image file format used to store digital images. Heuristic - a problem solving approach (algorithm) to find a satisfactory solution where finding an optimal or exact solution is impractical or impossible. Image - A type of data used for graphics or pictures. Metadata - Data that describes other data. For example, a digital image my include metadata that describe the size of the image, number of colors, or resolution. Pixel - Short for "picture element" it is the fundamental unit of a digital image, typically a tiny square or dot which contains a single point of color of a larger image.

Lossless - A compression scheme in which every bit of the original data can be recovered from the compressed file. Lossy - A compression scheme in which "useless" or less-than-totally-necessary information is thrown out in order to reduce the size of the data. The eliminated data is unrecoverable. RGB - the color model that uses varying intensities of (R)ed, (G)reen, and (B)lue light added together in order to reproduce a broad array of colors. RBG Intensities - a 256-range (or 8-bit range) of values from light to dark on each of the three color channels (R,G,B) file extensions - the endings of file names that indicate to the computer the format for how the underlying bits are organized. Computationally Hard Problem - A problem that can not be solved in a reasonable amount of time. Heuristics are often used to create an approximate or good enough solution. #FF0000 - Red represented RGB in 32Bit Hex #00FF00 - Green represented RGB in 32Bit Hex #0000FF - Blue represented RGB in 32Bit Hex # - Black represented RGB in 32Bit Hex #FFFFFF - White represented RGB in 32Bit Hex Innovation - A novel or improved idea, device, product, etc. or the development thereof Caesar Cipher - a technique for encryption that shifts the alphabet by some number of characters Cipher - the generic term for
