What is a 'program'?
A set of instructions a computer executes.
Define 'code segment'.
A smaller part of a program.
What is a 'statement' in programming?
An individual instruction within a code segment.
Define 'program input'.
Data a program takes in for processing.
What is 'program output'?
Data a program returns after processing.
What is a 'program event'?
An action that triggers a program to respond.
Define 'event-driven software'.
Software that responds to events to run.
What is 'program behavior'?
How a program responds to user interaction.
Define 'computing innovation'.
A novel and useful artifact that relies on computer science.
What is the 'purpose' of a computing innovation?
What it is designed to do; its mission statement.
What is the importance of a clear program purpose?
Guides development and clarifies goals.
How can computing innovations be used?
Solving problems and creative expression.
What are the key components to consider when defining program behavior?
Purpose, events, inputs, and outputs.
Why is understanding events crucial?
Many modern programs are event-driven.
What should you consider regarding program behavior?
How programs respond to user actions and unexpected scenarios.
What are the different types of program inputs?
Auditory, visual, tactile, and text.
What are the different types of program outputs?
Auditory, visual, tactile, and text.
Why is it important to consider edge cases when designing program behavior?
Programs have behaviors even in unexpected scenarios, and not handling them can lead to crashes.
What are examples of events that can trigger a program response?
Clicking a button, moving a mouse, starting a program, pressing a key, a timer expiring.
How can you describe a program broadly?
By stating what it does (e.g., 'My program adds two numbers').
