Untitled Flashcard Set

Collaboration benefits

The advantages gained from working together effectively in a creative process.

Simulation use

The application of simulations for practice, modeling, or testing scenarios in creative development.

Binary

A numerical system that uses only two digits, 0 and 1, to represent data.

ASCII

A character encoding standard for electronic communication, representing text in computers.

RGB

A color model using the primary colors of light (red, green, blue) to create a broad spectrum of colors.

Data compression

The process of encoding information using fewer bits than the original representation.

Data storage

The recording of information in a storage medium for future use.

Metadata

Data that provides information about other data, describing its content, context, and structure.

Overflow errors

Errors that occur when a calculation exceeds the data type's maximum limit.

Procedures

A set of instructions designed to perform a specific task or solve a problem.

Parameters

Variables that define the input for a procedure or function.

Returns

The output produced by a procedure or function after processing inputs.

Iteration

The repetition of a process in programming, often used in loops to perform tasks multiple times.

Lists

Data structures that store a collection of elements in an ordered way.

Searching

The process of locating a specific item or information within a data structure.

Algorithm efficiency

A measure of the resources used by an algorithm relative to the size of the input.

Growth rates

The rates at which the resources needed by an algorithm increase as the size of the input increases.

Robot / procedural logic

The structured reasoning and processes that guide the actions of algorithms and robots.

Parallel computing

A type of computation where many calculations or processes are carried out simultaneously.

Fault tolerance

The ability of a system to continue functioning correctly even in the event of a failure.

Network concepts

Fundamental principles and technologies that underpin the functioning of computer networks.

Cybersecurity

The practice of protecting systems, networks, and programs from digital attacks.

Digital divide

The gap between those who have easy access to digital technology and those who do not.

Privacy concerns

Issues regarding the unauthorized access to personal information and data security.

Phishing

A cyber attack that aims to trick individuals into giving up personal information.

Malware

Malicious software designed to harm, exploit, or otherwise compromise computer systems.

Keylogger

A type of malware that records keystrokes to capture sensitive information like passwords.

Multifactor authentication (MFA)

A security measure requiring multiple forms of verification to access an account.

Encryption

The process of encoding information to prevent unauthorized access.

Redundancy

The inclusion of extra components that are not strictly necessary, improving reliability.

Parallel processing

A method of computation where multiple processors execute tasks simultaneously.

Sampling

The process of selecting a subset of data for analysis to infer characteristics about the whole.

Approximation

A value or result that is close to, but not exactly a representation of, the actual value.

Abstraction

The concept of simplifying complex systems by hiding unnecessary details.

Heuristic

A problem-solving approach that employs a practical method or various shortcuts to produce solutions.
