    An algorithm is a precise sequence of instructions for successfully carrying out a task. It will be written in everyday language but the steps might be capable of translation into a programming language. There might be a number of workable algorithms for a task but not all will be as efficient as the others.

    An algorithm is a precise sequence of instructions for successfully

    carrying out a task. It will be written in everyday language but the steps
    might be capable of translation into a programming language. There might be a
    number of workable algorithms for a task but not all will be as efficient as the others.

    Algorithm

    AND means as well as and is inclusive.


    For instance, I like cola AND milk (too)
    OR suggests either one thing or another but not both or
    all. They are called logical operators. (See operator)

    A bug is an error
    in a program
    that stops it from working
    in the way it should.

    A conditional is
    when something
    happens only on condition
    something else happens first.
    See also: IfThenElse

    Debug

    AND / OR

    Conditional

    Data are a
    collection of
    numbers and facts before
    they are processed to
    become information.

    Data

    Decomposing is
    when you break
    a problem down into sections in order
    to be able to solve it more easily.

    Decomposing

    Debugging is
    the process of
    going through a programs
    code to locate and fix a
    problem or mistake.

    Embed (Nest)

    If something is
    embedded or nested
    in a program it means that one piece of
    programming is contained within another.

    IfThenElse is a computers
    way of evaluating something
    and saying that if it has a particular attribute it
    will do one thing, otherwise itll do something else.

    IfThenElse

    Language

    A programming language is the


    name given to one of the many
    ways in which a computer can be given instructions
    in a program. Examples include C++, JavaScript,
    Logo, PHP, Python and Ruby.

    Logic

    Output

    Output can be either the device a


    computer uses to give you information or
    the actual information itself. Output can come in many
    forms such as words, images movement and sound.

    Parallelism

    Procedure

    A procedure is a subset of a
    program that does a particular thing.
    It can be called up by the main program at any time
    to save having to type it out again and again.

    Program

    A simulation is an accurate
    representation of a real life activity.
    We use simulations when something is either too
    dangerous or too expensive to do for real.

    Information is what
    data becomes after
    they are organised. It might be reported in
    words or a chart of some sort. (See data)

    Information

    If someone is using logic they are


    explaining something by following
    a set of rules, even if they dont always
    realise that. Using the word because can
    show reasoning. Guessing is not using logic.

    In some computer languages


    it is possible to make the
    computer perform more than one task at
    the same time. This is called parallelism.

    To loop or repeat
    is the process of
    performing the same task again and
    again usually, but not always, for a set
    number of times.

    Loop/Repeat

    Print can mean either print some


    output (words, numbers or images)
    on a screen or on paper through a printer.
    Nowadays it is even possible to print in 3D!

    Print

    A program is a sequence of instructions (or


    algorithm) written in a language or code that
    a computer can understand and put into action. A computer
    will do exactly what it is told so a program must be accurate.
    A value the
    number or
    word we give to a
    variable. (See variable)

    Input can be either the device


    you use to interact with a computer
    or an instruction in a program to key in words
    or numbers using one of those devices.

    Input

    #Rule#

    Print Inline

    Code Crunch has


    a special instruction
    to Print Inline. This puts different
    pieces of text on the same line.

    (Code Crunch)

    Explore the
    super computer.
    Click on the words to find
    out what they mean.

    A variable is a label to which a value can be


    assigned. In most programming languages a
    variable is a letter but in Code Crunch they are EducationCity
    characters. As the name suggests variables can vary!

    Variable

    An operator
    tells the computer
    what to do with inputs values
    and variables. (See inputs values
    and variables.)

    Operator

    Sequence

    In programming
    a sequence
    means the ordered steps
    in a program.
