A
Abend: When a program, script, code, or task crashes without any errors or any warnings.
Synonyms: Abnormal End
ASCII: ASCII stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange its a code assigning CHAR, Colors, ETC a number.
Abstraction: reduces and factors out details so that a programmer/developer can focus on a few concepts at a time, rather than to start from unknown.
Absolute Coding: A type of programming using absolute address with the exact memory address rather then indirect.
Absolute address: real address, exact memory address of a machine.
Synonyms: Direct Address, Machine Address
Assembler: A program that converts assembly code to machine code.
Assembly language: A language used to interact with computers, its easier for humans to read assembly than binary since assembly is converted to binary numbers that computers can read.
Argument: In programming an argument is a command function that is passed on as binary through a compiler for the computer to run.
B
Bracket: Brackets are the opening and closing of a piece of code using { or [ to open and } or ] to close.
Internet Ex: "Brackets can be used in a variety of ways, including a basic textual manner to add additional or missing details ("It was an honor to do it [the presentation].")" Brackets has to do with sets and numbers, it is taught in 7-9 grade, I learned it myself in 7th grade regents.
Bug: Bug is a word that describes any unexpected problems with the software/program, a professional term to describe bug is an error.
Boolean: A Boolean consists of operators such as AND, OR, NOT, and XOR statements resulting in True or False statements.
C
C: C is commonly used to describe the C: drive or the first hard driver on compatibility computers. Now days C Driver is known as My Computer or the Computer file with any types of disks.
C, C++, C#: C, C++, C# are all high level programming languages, C# developed by microsoft, C is designed by Dennis Ritchie, C++ by Bjarne Stroustrup, Bell Labs. These languages are most commonly used by all programmers.
Char: It is short for character, which is a data type that holds one character (letter, number, etc.) of data such as "c", "9", or "#"
Code: A line of script that commands something.
Compile: To put everything together, process to creating an executable program that the computer can understand without the assembly factors.
Computer Science: The study of how computers work and knowledge of computer programming.
D
Debug: Taking a look at the code for any errors or bugs, a test run/drive.
Debugger: Is a program designed to run a piece of code to check for and errors/bugs.
Declare/ Declaration: To define a variable it's value or char.
Decompiler: A program that converts machine code back to a readable programming language/code to be read or modified.
Simplified: "Decompiler is a computer program that can convert/decode low-level abstraction which is binaries for computer to read to higher level abstraction for humans to read."(computerhope)
Dependent Variable: A variable that depends on a another variable for a value.
Developer: A person responsible for creating or working on a computer science related software.
H
High Level Programming Language: High Level programming language has a strong abstraction from the computer details, it is easier for humans to read and edit, and once its compiled the compiler converts the code to binary/low level language which computers can read and process.
L
Low Level Programming Languages: Low Level programming languages has little or no abstraction of the computer instructions, assembly language is a low level programming language, the computers can process it quick and understand. Example Code:
Code: Select all
00C353BB 01000000
N
Null: The value of 0. AKA Nil
P
Program: A program is a sequence of codes the computer runs and is forming an app/game
Programmer: Programmer is a Developer.
V
Void: The termination of an argument.
Value: A value is something that is stored in a variable, or object. The value can be numeric or alphanumeric, it can also contain symbols.
Variable: A variable is a location where values are stored, a storage house. Or simpler definition would be a memory address.
