Lesson 3: The Secret Life of Code

1. Define each of the following terms:

a) Decomposition:Decomposition is breaking a problem into smaller parts.


b) Algorithm: In coding, a list of steps to complete a task is called an algorithm.

c) Sequence:A sequence is a set of steps that follow one another in order.

d) Flexible sequencing: Flexible sequencing is when the order of steps does not have to be precise.

2. What is the purpose of an algorithm? The purpose of an algorithm is to provide a procedure or


formula for solving a problem.

7. List two features of high-level code versus low-level code.runs quicker.returns output faster.
__________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________
8. What happens when code is compiled?. Takes the entire program and converts it into binary
code, which it then stores in a file.
__________________________________________________________________________

9.What happens when code is interpreted?


Uses the code itself to perform actions. It does not need to be converted into binary code.

10. Define the three types of errors in coding. Debugging is removing errors in code that cause it to behave
unexpectedly or not run at all. Logic errors are design flaws in your program.
Examples include:
•Multiplying when you should be dividing
•Opening and using data from the wrong file
•Using the wrong sequence of statements.
Syntax errors represent errors in the grammar of the programming language.
