Number System Base Changing
Changing the base of a number involves converting it from one numeral system to another.
Hexadecimal
Base-16 numeral system. It uses the digits 0-9 and the letters A-F to represent values from 0 to 15.
Binary
Base-2 numeral system, consisting of 0s and 1s.
Decimal
Base-10 numeral system, which is the standard system for denoting integer and non-integer numbers.
Octal
Base-8 numeral system. It uses the digits 0-7 to represent values from 0 to 7.
Bits and Bytes
Basic unit of information in computing, representing either 0 or 1. A ____ consists of 8 bits.
Analog Data
Continuous and can take any real value within a range.
Digital Data
Discrete and represented using binary code, usually in the form of 0s and 1s.
Lossy Compression Algorithms
Compression algorithms that sacrifice some data to achieve higher compression ratios. Examples include JPEG for images and MP3 for audio.
Lossless Compression Algorithms
Compression algorithms that reduce file size without losing any data. Examples include ZIP for general files.
Pixel
The smallest unit of a digital image. It represents a single point in a raster image.
Image Data
Data representing images, often in the form of pixels with color information.
File Size
The amount of space a file occupies on storage, typically measured in bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, etc.
Intellectual Property
Creations of the mind, such as inventions, literary and artistic works, designs, symbols, names, and images used in commerce.
Copyright Law
Legal protection granted to the creators of original works, giving them exclusive rights to use and distribute their work.
Creative Commons
A licensing system that allows creators to specify the permissions for their work. Includes licenses like "Attribution" (BY), "Share Alike" (SA), "No Derivatives" (ND), and "Noncommercial" (NC).
ASCII Character Encoding
A character encoding standard that assigns numeric values to letters, numbers, and symbols.
Modulus Math Operation (MOD)
The modulus operator returns the remainder when one number is divided by another.
Number, String, Boolean, List
Data types in Python representing numeric values, text, truth values, and ordered collections.
Database
A structured collection of data organized for efficient retrieval, typically using SQL in Python.
Simple Graph Reading
Understanding and interpreting information presented in graphical form, such as bar charts or line graphs.
Effective Communication Skills
The ability to convey information clearly and efficiently.
Active Listeners
Individuals who fully concentrate, understand, respond, and remember what is being said in a conversation.
Passive Listeners
Individuals who listen without actively responding or fully engaging in the conversation.
Employability Skills
Skills that go beyond technical knowledge, including communication, teamwork, problem-solving, positive attitude, work ethic, and flexibility.
Communication
The exchange of information between individuals or groups.
Teamwork
Collaborative effort by a group to achieve a common goal. Important in Python development projects involving multiple team members.
Problem Solving
The process of finding solutions to difficult or complex issues.
Positive Attitude
Approaching tasks and challenges with a constructive and optimistic mindset, crucial in Python development and any other field.
Work Ethic
Demonstrating a strong commitment to completing tasks with integrity and excellence.
Flexibility
Adaptability to changes and the ability to work with diverse technologies.
Infographic
A visual representation of information or data designed to make complex information easily understandable.
Digital Artifact
A digital object or creation, often produced as a result of digital processes.
"Share Alike" (SA), "No Derivatives" (ND), "Attribution" (BY), "Noncommercial" (NC)
Different types of licenses provided by Creative Commons, indicating permissions and restrictions for using and sharing creative works.
Locating Errors in Code
1. Add More Code
Expanding the code to include additional functionality or features.
2. Debug the Program
Identifying and fixing errors or bugs in the code using debugging tools and techniques.
3. Change a Variable to Adjust the Desired Output
Modifying the value of a variable to achieve a different result or behavior.
4. Add Breakpoints
Placing points in the code where the program will pause, allowing the developer to inspect the code and variables at that point
Page Stalling
Delay or interruption in the loading or rendering of a web page.
Tracing
The process of following the execution flow of a program step by step for debugging or analysis.
Checking
Reviewing code for errors, inconsistencies, or improvements.
Debugging
The process of identifying and fixing errors or bugs in a program.
Deprogramming
Undoing changes or modifications made to a program.
Updation
The act of updating a program or its components to a newer version.
Exception
An event that disrupts the normal flow of a program, often requiring special handling.
Logical Error
An error in the logic or reasoning of a program, leading to incorrect results.
Syntax Error
An error in the syntax (structure) of the code, preventing it from being interpreted or executed.
Algorithm Flowcharts
Visual representations of algorithms using different shapes to represent different steps or actions.
Iteration
Repeating a set of instructions or steps in a program, often using loops in Python.
Sequencing
Executing a series of steps or instructions in a specific order.
Selection
Making decisions in a program based on conditions, often implemented with if statements in Python.
For Loops
A type of loop in that iterates over a sequence (e.g., a list) a specific number of times.
If Statements
Conditional statements used to make decisions based on specified conditions.
Append
A method in Python used to add elements to the end of a list.
Using an Arrow as an Assignment Operator
While the arrow (`=>`) is not used as an assignment operator in Python, it is commonly used in other languages like JavaScript for functions and arrow functions.
