ACTIVITY NO.1 PROGRAMMING TERMINOLOGIES
Name: RESELDA PENASO Section: II-26
A. Define the following terminologies. Use extra sheet/s if necessary.
1. Algorithm – a finite sequence of steps for solving a logical or mathematical
problem or performing a task.
2. Pseudocodes – an algorithm written in normal human-language statements to
describe the logic and processing flow.
3. Flowchart – a visual outline of an algorithm in which the steps and processes to
be followed are represented by symbols.
4. Program – a list of organized instructions that the computer must follow in order
to process data into information.
5. Source code – human-readable program statements written by a programmer
or developer in a high-level or assembly language that are not directly
readable by a computer.
6. Compiler – a program that translates all the source code of a program written
in a high-level language into object code prior to execution of the program.
7. Syntax – is the grammar of a computer language, it consists of the rules
governing the structure and content of the statements.
8. Program bug – an error, mistake, defect or fault in a computer program that
causes it to produce incorrect results.
9. Debugging – the process of detecting, locating, and removing all errors in a
computer program.
10. Object code – the code generated by a compiler, or an assembler, that was
translated from the source code of a program.
11. ALPHA version – the first version of a software program that is not yet complete
or ready for release but undergoes alpha testing process.
12. Beta Version – a version of a software program that is feature-complete but
likely contains several known or unknown bugs and undergoes beta testing
process to make sure the program works.
13. Logical error – an error, such as a faulty algorithm, that causes a program to
produce incorrect results but does not prevent the program from running.
14. Syntax error – an error resulting from a statement that violates one or more of
the grammatical rules of a language and is thus not “legal.”
15. GIGO – stands for “garbage in, garbage out”, means that a system produces
an output that depends on the input it receives.
16. wysiwyg – stands for the phrase, “What you see is what you get”, used to
describe a display generated by editing software that exactly reflects the
document as it would appear in its finished state while it is being created.
17. .executable (.EXE) file – is a program file that can be run, with encoded
sequence of instructions that the system can execute directly when the user
clicks the file icon.
18. Programmer – an individual who writes and debugs computer programs.

B. What is the new Mission and Vision of Philippine Normal University?
PNU VISION: A leading future-ready teacher education university responsive to
national and global development goals and directions.
PNU MISSION: Philippine Normal University is committed to lead innovative,
responsive, and sustainable teacher education programs that set the standards
of future-ready teachers and education leaders.
C. Discuss on how you can contribute to the mission and vision of the University.
What a privilege it is to be enrolled at the Philippine Normal University, known to
be the National Center for Teacher Education. Although I cannot tell what the future
holds for me in this profession, one thing that I'm certain of is that preparation is better
than prediction.
As the word "future-ready", is stated in both the vision and mission of the PNU, I
believe, as a pre-service teacher, that to be a "future-ready" teacher requires
perseverance and consistency to maintain excellent academic performance, develop
an efficient teacher character, acquire 21st century skills, and open a positive
perspective on digital and technological advancements such as AI, as I believe that this
tool opens up numerous opportunities to better enhance learning. Additionally, to
contribute to the PNU Vision, which is the "future-ready" university, I will make proper use
of all resources, materials, equipment, and facilities that the Inang Pamantasan has
offered for better learning. Lagi't lagi, para sa bayan at para sa mga bata.
