GLOSSARY
ALGORITHM is a type of effective method in which a list of well-defined instructions for completing a task will, when given an initial state,
proceed through a well-defined series of successive states, eventually terminating in an end-state. The transition incorporates
randomness.
COMPILER is a computer program (or set of programs) that transforms source code written in a programming language (the source
language) into another computer language (the target language, often having a binary form known as object code). The most
common reason for wanting to transform source code is to create an executable program.
COMPUTER is a device that can accept data, internally store and execute a program of instructions, perform mathematical, logical, and
manipulative operations on data, and report the results.
COMPUTER PROGRAM also a software program, or just a program; a sequence of instructions written to perform a specified task for a computer. A
computer requires programs to function, typically executing the program's instructions in a central processor. The program
has an executable form that the computer can use directly to execute the instructions. The same program in its human-
readable source code form, from which executable programs are derived (i.e., compiled), enables a programmer to study and
develop its algorithms.
COMPUTER PROGRAMMING is an iterative process of writing or editing source code. Editing source code involves testing, analyzing, refining, and
sometimes coordinating with other programmers on a jointly developed program. A person who practices this skill is referred
to as a computer programmer, software developer, or coder. The sometimes-lengthy process of computer programming is
usually referred to as software development.
DATA objective measurements of the attributes (characteristics) of entities such as people, places, things, and events.
DATABASE a typically extensive compilation of data that is organized specifically for rapid search and retrieval, such as by a computer.
DEBUGGING The computer program operated at a significantly increased rate following the debugging process, which involved the
elimination of errors, defects, deficiencies, or deviations.
DOCUMENTATION a collection of documents or information.
INFORMATION data placed in a meaningful and useful context for an end user.
INFORMATION refers to technologies associated with the transmission and exchange of data in the form of sound, text, visual images, AND
COMMUNICATIONS signals, or any combination of those forms with digital technology. It encompasses such services as telecommunications,
TECHNOLOGY (ICT) posts, multimedia, electronic commerce, broadcasting, and information technology.
INTERPRETER is a program that directly executes instructions written in a high-level programming language without converting them into
machine code. This contrasts with a compiler, which translates the entire program into machine code before execution
INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT is software that combines commonly used developer tools into a compact GUI (graphical user interface) application. It is
ENVIRONMENT (IDE) a combination of tools like a code editor, code compiler, and code debugger with an integrated terminal.
JAVA is a programming language and a platform. Java is a high-level, robust, object-oriented, and secure programming
language.
PROGRAMMING is an artificial language designed to express computations that can be performed by a machine, particularly a computer.
LANGUAGE Programming languages can be used to create programs that control the behavior of a machine, to express algorithms
precisely, or as a mode of human communication.
SOFTWARE computer programs and procedures concerned with the operation of an information system.
SOURCE CODE any collection of statements or declarations written in some human-readable computer programming language. Source
code is the means most often used by programmers to specify the actions to be performed by a computer.
STANDARDS measure of performance developed to evaluate the progress of a system toward its objectives.
SYSTEM an assembly of methods, procedures, or techniques unified by regulated interaction to form an organized whole.
USER-FRIENDLY a characteristic of human-operated equipment and systems that makes them safe, comfortable, and easy to use.
USER INTERFACE the system by which people (users) interact with a machine. The user interface includes hardware (physical) and software
(logical) components. User interfaces exist for various systems, and provide a means of 1) input, allowing the users to
manipulate a system; and/or 2) output, allowing the system to indicate the effects of the users' manipulation.
