Computer Science Flashcards

An Event Handler is a code component that reacts to specific events triggered within a program, allowing for interactive applications.
A Procedure refers to a defined segment within a program that accomplishes a particular function or task, promoting code reusability and organization.
A Conditional Statement is structured in an if-then format, facilitating decision-making in code execution based on specific conditions.

The Concatenate block is essential for merging two strings, thereby enabling dynamic string formation in programs.
A Text String represents a sequence of characters, crucial for any text manipulation or display within applications.
An Arithmetic Operator includes symbols such as +, -, *, /, fundamental for performing mathematical computations in programming languages.

The function to pick a random integer/number generates a value within a specified range, useful in gaming and simulations.
An Integer Block refers to a data type that holds whole numbers, playing a significant role in numerical calculations and logic.
A Local Variable can only be accessed within a designated block of code, enhancing security and memory management. In contrast, a Global Variable can be utilized throughout the entire program, allowing broader access but potentially increasing complexity.

Boolean signifies a data type with two possible states: TRUE or FALSE, widely used in conditional logic.
A Boolean Expression evaluates conditions to return a Boolean value, forming the basis for control flow and decision-making in programs.

A sprite can be moved based on sensor inputs, enabling responsive animations and interactions in games or visual applications.
The process of retrieving x/y coordinates from sensors and displaying them on a label allows for real-time visualization of spatial data, enhancing user interface and interactivity.
