CSP THING

List

ordered collections of items in programming. They can contain elements of various data types and are often used for storing and manipulating data.

Strings

sequences of characters typically used to represent text in programming. can include letters, numbers, symbols, and spaces.

Prototype

 can refer to a preliminary version of a function or object that serves as a template or blueprint for creating instances of that function or object.

Expression

a combination of values, variables, operators, and functions that, when evaluated, produce a result.

Parameter

is a variable in a function or method definition that receives a value when the function or method is called. allow you to pass data into functions.

Argument

 the actual value that is passed to a function or method when it is called. are used to provide input to the function or method.

Iteration

 refers to the process of repeatedly executing a block of code, often within a loop, until a certain condition is met or a specific number of loops are completed.

Procedure

 is a named block of code in programming that can be executed by calling its name. are often used for organizing and reusing code.

Boolean

 data type that represents either true or false. It's commonly used in programming for making decisions or evaluating conditions.

Abstraction

 concept in programming where complex details are hidden or simplified, allowing developers to work with high-level, understandable representations of data or processes.

Infinite Loop

 is a loop that continues to execute indefinitely because its termination condition is never met. It can lead to a program becoming unresponsive.

Modulus

 a mathematical operator in programming (%) that returns the remainder when one number is divided by another.

Code Segment

 refers to a portion of a program or source code that performs a specific task or function.

Operators

 are symbols or keywords in programming that perform operations on data, such as addition (+), subtraction (-), or comparison (==).

Readability

refers to how easily and clearly the code can be understood by humans. Code that is more readable is typically easier to maintain and debug.

Traverse

go through or visit each element or item in a collection, such as a list or an array.

Index

 numerical value that represents the position or location of an element in a data structure like an array or a list. It often starts at zero.

Element

 single item or value within a collection, such as an element in an array or a character in a string.

Sublist

 a portion of a larger list or array containing a specific range of elements from the original list.

Data Abstraction

 process of simplifying complex data by defining data structures and operations on those structures, hiding the underlying implementation details.

Selection

refers to decision-making in programming, often using conditional statements like "if" and "else" to choose different code paths based on certain conditions.

Conditional

 used to perform actions based on whether a specified condition evaluates to true or false.

Nested Conditional

 a conditional statement that is placed inside another conditional statement, creating a hierarchical decision-making structure.

Return Statement

used within a function to specify the value that should be returned to the caller of the function.
