1.1

Question 1

Abstraction

Answer 1

Procedural abstraction gives a name to a procedure. People can then use the procedure without worrying about finer grain details.

Question 2

Adaptive technology

Answer 2

Adaptive technology helps increases or maintains the capabilities of a person with a disability.

Question 3

Analog

Answer 3

Analog information has continuous values instead of jumping from one value to another value without passing through the values in between. Most physical information such as position, wind speed, light intensity, or sound pressure, is analog.

Question 4

Arguments

Answer 4

The values that program provides to a function.

Question 5

Authentication

Answer 5

When two parties exchange information so that they trust that each other is who they say they are.

Question 6

Automation

Answer 6

Automation is using a system (often a computer) to do something with less human attention than the task would otherwise require. Examples: Automated manufacturing of clothing, security image analysis, or automated vegetable planting.

Question 7

Backlog

Answer 7

A prioritized list of features or user stories to add to a program.

Question 8

Binary

Answer 8

Binary information is written using only two values: Zero and one. Everything can be approximately represented using a binary representation.

Question 9

Boolean expression

Answer 9

A Boolean expression is either true or false. Boolean operators include “and,” “or,” and “not.”

Question 10

Character

Answer 10

Any single typeset unit, including uppercase and lowercase letters, digits, punctuation marks, international characters like letters with accent marks and special characters like tabs and carriage returns.

Question 11

Collaboration

Answer 11

Working together by sharing information, resources, or responsibilities; creating knowledge, services, or goods as a group.

Question 12

Components

Answer 12

Parts of an interface.

Question 13

Concatenate

Answer 13

To tack together two strings of characters, making one longer string.

Question 14

Computational Thinking

Answer 14

Habits that help people solve problems with computers. Computational thinking habits cause a person who is facing a problem to ask how computers could help them more creative, to communicate, to collaborate, to use data or the internet, or to use crowdsourcing or simulation, to solve a problem.

Question 15

Creative expressed

Answer 15

Computing helps people create sound, movies, 2D media such as screen images or paper art, 3D media including computer controlled subtractive art (milling) or additive art (3D printing), user interface design, user experience design.

Question 16

Data collection and analysis

Answer 16

Data can be generate by sensors like thermometers, cameras, microphones, and keyboards and collected in storage. Data analysis uses creative ways to see patterns in data and using mathematics to describe those patterns.

Question 17

Decomposition

Answer 17

A problem solving strategy of breaking a problem apart into smaller subproblems

Question 18

Default

Answer 18

A default value is a value that A variable will have if no action is taken by the user.

Question 19

Digital

Answer 19

Digital information has discrete values with gaps between the values. Digital information can be exactly represented using a binary representation. Digital information can be duplicated exactly, without loss in quality. Digital information can be transmitted error-free.

Question 20

Digital divide

Answer 20

The contrast between two groups’ access to computing resources and the internet on the basis of race, wealth, or National boundaries.

Question 21

Economic impact

Answer 21

Economic impact to computing include changes in the numbers types, and wages of jobs, and changes in the amount, type, and cost of services, goods, and materials produced.

Question 22

Evaluate

Answer 22

To determine the result of an expression.

Question 23

Event

Answer 23

An action that can trigger an event handler to be executed, such as user input from the mouse or keyboard, or a timers alarm.

Question 24

Event handler

Answer 24

A part of a program that runs when an event occurs.

Question 25

Global variable

Answer 25

A variable that can be used anywhere in a program, unlike a local variable, which can only be used in one portion of a program. I app inventor, procedure, event handler, and for loops can create a local variable that can only be used inside that procedure, event handler, or for loops.

Question 26

Increment

Answer 26

Increase by a specific amount; usually means to increase by a small amount; often means to increase by one.

Question 27

Input

Answer 27

Information provided to the computer from a person or from another computer, through input devices such as the keyboard, mouse, or touch screen.

Question 28

Interface

Answer 28

The way a human interacts with a computer from a person through the input and output.

Question 29

Modeling and simulation

Answer 29

A model is a simplified description of some object to or phenomenon. A simulation is a computer-executed version, often predicting how an initial state will evolve over time.

Question 30

Output

Answer 30

Information sent by the computer to a person or to another computer, through output devices such as display or printer, speaker, or motor.

Question 31

Parameters

Answer 31

Variable that can be used inside a procedure. The variables are initialized with arguments values when the procedure is called.

Question 32

Processor

Answer 32

The component of a computer that follows instructions.

Question 33

Professional greeting

Answer 33

A standardized procedure that professionals use when they meet or begin work together.

Question 34

Property

Answer 34

A variable that stores information about an object.

Question 35

Social impact

Answer 35

Social impacts of computing include changes in how people communicate with each other and in how groups of people form and function, including circles of friends and structures of government.

Question 36

Sprint task list

Answer 36

A list of small steps to accomplish, breaking down a user story from the backlog.

Question 37

String

Answer 37

A sequence of characters.

Question 38

Team norms

Answer 38

Team norms are agreements among all team members. Team norms typically spell out that all team members will provide input and provide protocols for communication, work together, and conflict resolution.

Question 39

Variable

Answer 39

A place in memory to store a value.

Question 40
