Coding

technologies

retrieve (v)

To obtain data or information from storage, typically using a specific method or protocol.

ex: Using SQL to manage, query, and ____ stock data from a database.

data schema (n)

is the organisation and structure of a databaset hat defines how data is stored, organized, and accessed.

TAC report

is a document that provides an analysis of the technical, operational, and financial aspects of a project, often used to assess its impact or feasibility.

Git

It tracks changes in your code and helps you collaborate with others.

GitHub

is a cloud-based hosting platform for Git repositories.

It stores your Git-managed projects online, making it easier to share and collaborate.

It also offers features such as issue tracking, project management, and version control collaboration.

indicator (n)

a measurement or sign that provides information about a particular situation or progress, often used to assess performance or conditions.

Come after sb/sth

To chase or take action against sb/sth in order to position, place or time.

ex: In the array, index 2 _____ index 1, so the program accesses it next in the loop.

Iterate (v)

To repeat a process, usually to improve it or move step-by-step toward a result — very common in coding, algorithms, and design.

Ex: Developers often ____ the design based on user feedback in each version

concatenate (v)

to put things together as a connected series or chain, often used in programming to combine strings or data.

ex: "I will ______ the two strings to form a complete message, and it is called string concatenation."

increment (v) = add to

​(formal) an increase in a number or an amount

Ex: To track user activity, the system _____the login count every time someone logs in

Come up with

= propose = formulate=suggest

To think of, invent, or suggest an idea, solution, plan, or answer — usually something creative or useful.

ex: The developer _______ a new algorithm to improve loading speed

constraint (n)

is a restriction or rule that defines the conditions a solution must meet. It helps ensure the correctness, efficiency, and validity of the program, algorithm, or data.

ex: Given an array of up to 10⁵ elements, find the max sum… (constraint: O(n) time)

median (n)

is the middle value in a list of numbers when the numbers are sorted in order.

ex: numbers = [3, 1, 4, 2]

sorted_numbers = sorted(numbers)  # [1, 2, 3, 4]

middle1 = sorted_numbers[1]

middle2 = sorted_numbers[2]

median = (middle1 + middle2) / 2

print(median)  # Output: 2.5

Sorted array (n)

is a list of elements (usually numbers or strings) that is arranged in a specific order such as ascending (low to high) or descending( high to low)

merged array

combining two or more arrays into one — often while keeping the resulting array sorted.

a = [1, 3, 5]

b = [2, 4, 6]

merged = sorted(a + b)  # [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

Partitioning an array

dividing the array into parts (usually based on a condition or pivot) so that elements are grouped by some rule — such as smaller/larger than a pivot.
