Study Notes
Word Flagging in IGCSE ICT
- Words might be flagged due to language/dialect differences, names/proper nouns, a lack of dictionary entry, or if written in Latin and the dictionary is in English.
Visual Verification
- In visual verification, users compare data with the original source.
Double Data Entry
- Double data entry involves the computer comparing data entered twice by a user(s) with previously entered data.
Data Validation and Verification Importance
- Accurate data is crucial, especially for personal information.
- Error-free data is vital for safety.
- Incorrect data can have harmful consequences.
- Not all errors are detectable by individuals.
- Validation & verification check for accurate data entry.
Creating a Graph in IGCSE ICT
- Select cells, click the chart icon, and choose the desired chart type.
- Add/edit titles, labels for axes and a legend.
Purpose of Page Breaks/Column/Section Breaks
- Column Breaks: Create hard breaks in a document; prevent widows or orphans.
- Page Breaks: Force text to the start of a new page, leaving a gap at the previous page's end. Useful for preventing widows/orphans.
- Section Breaks: Change page orientations between sections.
- Gutter Margin Additional margin that improves readability, especially for bound documents.
Absolute and Relative File Paths
- Absolute file paths: Include the complete URL/full file path with the filename. Includes the protocol, domain, specific file, subfolders and page name.
- Relative file paths: Include only the specific file or page relative to the page containing the path.
Why Use Relative File Paths?
- Relative paths remain usable if the web pages are moved, unlike absolute paths.
Hyperlinks vs. Anchors
- Similarities: Both are links in web pages, can be attached to elements (icons/text/graphics), and are HTML tags starting with
<a.... - Differences:
- Anchors: Move between parts of a single web page —identifying specific spots within a document. The anchor itself is within the page; hyperlink points to an external page—or different part of the same page via its name (fixed point).
- Hyperlinks: Move between web pages.
Web Page Layers
- Content Layer: Contains webpage information, creating the structure.
- Presentation Layer: Displays web elements, defines format through CSS (stylesheets), and maintains consistency.
- Behavior Layer: Controls web elements using scripting languages (e.g., javascript), adding interactive content like forms or image galleries, and adding functionality to the page.
