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.
