    Study Notes

    Fundamental Concepts in Programming

    • Algorithm: A series of step-by-step instructions designed to solve specific problems.
    • Syntax: A collection of established rules ensuring that code is properly structured for computer interpretation.

    Object-Oriented Programming

    • Method: Represents an action executed by an object within a program.
    • Property: Attributes or data associated with an object, defining its characteristics.
    • Object: The foundational element in programming that embodies a character or entity capable of performing actions.

    Programming Structures

    • Argument: Additional data provided to methods within parentheses, altering their behavior.
    • String: A data type used for text representation, enclosed in quotation marks.
    • Loop: A programming framework that allows for repeating specific code segments without redundancy.

    Control Flow Mechanisms

    • Variable: Symbols used to store and represent data, which can be altered during program execution.
    • Sequence: The specific order in which commands are executed in a program.
    • While True Loops: Constructs that execute a block of code indefinitely until a predefined condition is met, such as level completion.

    Loop Variations

    • For Loop: A loop with clearly defined starting and ending points, including incremental steps for execution.
    • While Loop: A mechanism that continues to execute commands as long as a specified Boolean condition remains true.
    • Nesting Loops: The practice of placing one loop inside another, allowing for more complex iterations.

    Safety and Security in Computing

    • Cybersecurity: Strategies and measures employed to safeguard computer systems from unauthorized access and attacks, encompassing safety principles and regulations.
    • Encryption: The technique of transforming readable data into a format that cannot be easily understood, thus protecting it from unauthorized access.
