| Syntax | Rules governing how to write statements in programming language |
| Sorted | When things are put into order, eg from largest to smallest |
| Programming | The process of writing computer software |
| Program | Sequences of instructions for a computer |
| Loop | A method used in programming to repeat a set of instructions |
| Keyword | An important word that will help return accurate search results |
| Variable | In a computer program, this is a memory location where values are stored |
| Instruction | A single action that can be performed by a computer processor |
| Criteria | A set of rules or conditions that must be met. Often used in searches |
| Input | Entries or changes which are inserted into a system and which activate /modify a process |
| Iteration | In computer programming, this is a single pass through a set of instructions |
| Notation | A system of written symbols or graphics used to represent something in order to aid communication and understanding |
| Output | Either an exit or changes which exit a system and which activate or modify a process |
| Pattern recognition | Finding similarities and patterns in order to solve complex problems more efficiently |
| Selection | A decision within a computer program when the program decides to move on based on the results of an event |
| Sequence | In computer programming, this is a set of actions that follow on one |
| Programming language | A language used by a programmer to write a piece of software. There are many programming languages |
| Serial search | A simple method of searching, in which the search moves from one item to next in sequence, until either a match is found or end of the data is reached with no match found |
| Specification | A statement that tells the designer exactly what the product has to do and what the design requirements are |
| Abstraction | The process of separating and filtering out ideas and specific details that are not needed in order to concentrate on those that are needed |
| Data type | The format in which a variable or constant holds data, such as 'integer' or 'string' |
| Design criteria | Principles and standard that designers should meet in designing a system |
| Flowchart | A diagram that shows a process, made up of boxes representing |
| Algorithm | A sequence of logical instructions for carrying out a task in computing. Algorithms are needed to design computer programs |
| Condition | In computing. This is a statement or sum that is either true or false. A computation depends on whether a condition equates to true or false |
| Counter | A device which stores (and/or displays) the number of times a particular event or process has occurred |
| Database | A system designed to store data in an organised way, making to search for the information you need |
| Bubble sort | A sorting algorithm that repeatedly passes through a list to be sorted, comparing and swapping items that are in the wrong order |
| Data | Units of information. In computing there can be different data types including integers, characters, and Boolean. Data is often acted on by instructions |
| Decomposition | The breaking down of a system into smaller parts that is easier to search for the information you need |
| Bucket sort | A sorting algorithm that separates data into different collections, called buckets, which are filled with data and then sorted |
| Binary search | A faster method of searching, in which data being searched is halved with every step |
| Computation thinking | A problem-solving method using computer science techniques, where possible solutions are developed and presented in |
