User-friendly error handling displays helpful messages when something goes wrong instead of error codes.

A combination of values, variables, operators, and functions producing a result.

Implicit conversion of one data type to another. More likely to occur in operations involving different data types.

Stores the result of an expression in a variable.

Evaluating all parts of an expression before continuing.

A pattern for operations that might temporarily fail (e.g., network issues).

Syntax defines the structure (grammar) of code; semantics defines the meaning.

Assigning values from a sequence (like a list or tuple) to multiple variables.

Rules that dictate the sequence in which operations within an expression are evaluated.

Initialization gives a variable its initial value, while assignment changes its existing value.

Data structures used to represent expressions, showing the order of evaluation.

Error that occurs when converting a value to a different data type, exceeding the range of the target type.

Converting a value to a new data type using a specific function or syntax.

Presenting clear and understandable error messages to the user.

A combination of values, variables, operators, and possibly functions that evaluate to a single result.

A programming language that performs type checking at runtime.

Evaluating an expression only when its value is needed.

Giving operators special meaning for user-defined data types.

Assigning different values simultaneously to multiple variables.

Converting a variable to a different data type using the syntax (int) x

Converting a variable to a data type of lower precision/size.

Rules dictating the calculation sequence in expressions.

Stopping the evaluation of an expression as soon as the result is known.

The order in which operations are performed in an expression, following specific rules like multiplication before addition.

A program that translates high-level language code into low-level machine code that a computer can understand.

A style of programming that focuses on functions as the primary building blocks, emphasizing immutability and data transformations.

A programming paradigm where programs are organized around objects, which encapsulate data and behavior.

A named storage location in memory that holds a specific data value.

An error that occurs while a program is running, usually caused by unexpected input, illegal operations, or resource issues.

How efficiently a program uses resources like memory and processing power, influencing speed and responsiveness.

A programming language feature that allows programs to gracefully handle unexpected events or errors, preventing crashes. It involves catching and responding to exceptions (errors) during code execution.

The ability of a programming language to express complex ideas and algorithms in a concise and natural way, often using fewer lines of code.

The lowest-level programming language, directly understood by the computer's processor. It consists of binary code (0s and 1s) and is machine-dependent, meaning it varies for different types of processors.

A logic programming language originally created for artificial intelligence applications. It excels at tasks involving logic, reasoning, and knowledge representation.

A number system based on two digits (0 and 1). It is fundamental to computing because computers use electronic circuits that represent data as on (1) and off (0) states.

A compiler translates the entire program into machine code before execution, while an interpreter translates and executes code line by line.

The ability to hide implementation details and represent complex concepts in a simpler way, promoting code reuse and readability.

A programming paradigm where code is organized around "objects" (data and functions) and "classes" (blueprints for objects).

A program that translates assembly language (low-level code) into machine code (binary instructions) that the computer can understand.

A classification of problems based on how difficult they are to solve algorithmically. P problems can be solved efficiently, while NP problems are difficult to solve but easy to verify a solution.

A loop that repeats a block of code as long as a condition is true, used when the number of iterations is uncertain.

A programming paradigm where you describe what you want to achieve rather than how to achieve it.
