Chapter One-Part One: Vocabulary Words - CORRECT ANSWERS -
Algorithm - CORRECT ANSWERS -A finite sequence of instructions that,
when applied to a problem, will solve it.
-The sequence of steps that describes each of these computational processes
-Describes a process that ends with a solution to a problem
Infinite number of instructions (?) - CORRECT ANSWERS -Describing
something without any bound, as many instructions as needed
Computing Agent - CORRECT ANSWERS -The entity that executes
instructions in an algorithm
-an object capable of understanding and executing our instructions
Data - CORRECT ANSWERS -The symbols that are used to represent
information in a form suitable for storage, processing, and communication
-Information
-Computing agent manipulates information (input to output)
Variable - CORRECT ANSWERS -A memory location, referenced with a key
and is located by a key in a collection
Input - CORRECT ANSWERS -Data obtained by a program during its
execution
-Given information
, -The purpose of most of the input devices is to convert information that human
beings deal with, such as text, images, and sounds, into information for
computational processing
Output - CORRECT ANSWERS -Information that is produced by a program
-New information
-The purpose of most output devices is to convert the results of this processing
back to human-usable form
Processor - CORRECT ANSWERS -a small chip that resides in computers and
other electronic devices. Its basic job is to receive input and provide the
appropriate output.
Program - CORRECT ANSWERS -A set of instructions that tells the machine
(the hardware) what to do
Bits - CORRECT ANSWERS -binary digits
Records - CORRECT ANSWERS -a database entry that may contain one or
more values. Groups of records are stored in a table, which defines what types
of data each record may contain. Databases may contain multiple tables which
may each contain multiple records.
Input - CORRECT ANSWERS -Keyboard, a mouse, and a microphone
Output - CORRECT ANSWERS -Monitor and speakers
Variables - CORRECT ANSWERS -a symbol or letter, such as "x" or "y," that
represents a value
