SDLC ✔✔Software Development Life Cycle
Mustache { ✔✔Beginning and endpoint of block code
Function ✔✔Block Code that does something for a single purpose
White Space ✔✔Create readability
CPU ✔✔Central processing unit, thoughts processing occurs
Condition ✔✔Equates to true or false
ROM ✔✔Read Only Memory, used by operating system during system start-up, reads not write
Main() ✔✔The point of beginning-function that first occurs
Computer Programming Language ✔✔A piece of software used by programming to write or edit
Infinite Loop ✔✔Loop that never ends
Flow Chart ✔✔Visual representation that show the flow of beginning
IO( Input Output) ✔✔Information put into/from the computer system
Decision Statement ✔✔Allow the code to execute a block of code or skip the block altogether
during execution of the program
Pseudo Code ✔✔Code that you understand; series of steps
Logic Error ✔✔Occurs when programs thinks program is doing something but doing something
else
Software ✔✔Set of instruction to tell computer what to do; intangible part of the computer
Hardware ✔✔Physical part of the computer
Desk-check ✔✔Done with pencil and paper. Includes tracing through design tools to be accurate
Variable ✔✔Location in RAM where value is stored and can change
RAM ✔✔Where software programs store information on a temporary basis. RAM(Random
Access Memory)
Computer Program ✔✔Piece of software that is written to perform specific task such as a game,
word processor, or compiler
Computer Programmer ✔✔Person that writes computer programs
C Source Code ✔✔Created by computer Programmer. In the case of C, exist as a simple text
document. Contents can easily be viewed on the screen
Algorithm ✔✔Is a step-by-step process or set of rules for solving a problem
Testing/Debugging ✔✔Requires the programmer to run the program using various input data and
examining output to ensure accuracy
Syntax Error ✔✔Programmer doesn't follow rules of programming language
Constants ✔✔Once defined, value of the constant cannot change
camelCase ✔✔Standard for naming convention for naming variables and functions. First letter of
the name is lower case, all other letters are lower case except first letter of new work, will start
with capital letter
IPO Chart ✔✔Input Process Chart. This design tool provides a summary of all needed input for
the program, the calculations required, and the output produced
Structure Chart ✔✔Also a graphical representation of the specs. Structure charts will be used once
we begin to use functions and menu systems.
Sequential Statements/Programming ✔✔C is a structured programming language. When the
program runs, it begins with main and control goes from the top down (in general). A statement is
followed by a statement when is followed by a statement
Keywords or Reserved Words ✔✔There are 32 words defined as keywords in the standard ANSI
C programming language. These words have predefined uses and cannot be used for other purpose
in the C program. You cannot use these words when you name your variables or functions.
Loop ✔✔Is the actual sequence of a programs instructions that is repeated
Counter-Controlled Loop ✔✔Sometimes called the definite loop, because we know in advanced
that how many times the loop will be execute
