What is a For Loop?
A network that uses wires to connect computers.

Error from attempting to represent a number that is too precise.
What is a Round-off Error?
Occurs when the ending condition never changes; it always stays "TRUE" or "FALSE" and causes the program to run ineffectively.
What is an Infinite Loop?
How well an algorithm uses time and memory/space resources, CPU, and RAM.

Extracting shared features to generalize functionality
What is Procedural Abstraction?
A blend of English and code used to write down an algorithm for a program.
What is Pseudocode?
A bug in a program that causes it to operate incorrectly, but not to terminate.
What is a Logical Error?
A process for reducing the number of bits needed to represent something without losing any information. The process is reversible.
What is Lossless Compression?
The process of accessing each item in a list one at a time.
What is Traversal?
An algorithm that checks every element in a list from the start to the end of the list to find an item.
What is a Linear or Sequential Search?
A protocol for sending packets quickly with minimal error-checking and no resending of dropped packets?
Focus is on speed not accuracy?
What is User Datagram Protocol (UDP)?
A precise sequence of instructions for processes that can be implements by a programming language and executes by a computer.
What is an Algorithm?
A general representation of something -- of some person or place or event or process; Extracts common features from specific examples in order to generalize concepts.
What is Abstraction?
Affects the sequential flow of control by executing different statements based on the value of a Boolean expression.
