| Question | Answer |
| Binary | - Machine/Computer Code - Essentially a series of 1's and 0's |
| Integrated Development Environment (IDE) | - An environment on the computer that allows you to write, run, debug, and convert to machine code - Like any other application on your computer, except it can facilitate machine code |
| IDE Central Area | - Area in the IDE that you use to write code |
| IDE Console | - Area in the IDE that print out useful info for the programmer - Where you'll see most of your test running and debugging -Developer tool but it's seen by everyone (backend of the program) - Don't try to implement the console into the final product |
| Syntax | - Rules you must follow to A TEE if you want your program to run correctly -Each language may have similar syntax, but each have their own unique quirks |
| Print Statements | - Simplest instruction you can tell tell the computer to do - Simply tells the console to "print" something |
| Modulus | - Allows us to get the remainder of the divisional operation - Is in most programming languages - Represented using ' % ' |
| Strings | - Another way of saying "text" - Anything enclosed within " " - ie: print ("Game over, 4 was your final score.") |
| Concatenation | - Adding strings together - ie: print("Game over," +4+ "was your final score.") |
| Variable | - Something that can store info and can be referenced and/or manipulated - Each variable has a: Type, name, piece of stored info - Multiple different types of variables |
| Integer Variable | - Variable that can store integer variables - ONLY WHOLE NUMBERS, NO DECIMALS |
| Boolean Variable | - Variable that can store TRUE or FALSE |
| Float Variable | -Variable that can store decimal values -Can only hold 32 bits (numbers in the value) |
| Double Variable | - Variable that can store decimal values - Can store up to 64 bits (numbers in the value) |
| String Variable | - Variable that can store words and sentences |
| Char Variable | - Variable that can store ONE character - Useful when a programmer wants to read one button press of one character in a string without using an entire string variable - ie: game controlled by keyboard ( WASD) |
| Blank Variable | - Can store info later on - Can store info given by the user - Trying to reference a blank variable will result in a NullPointerException (Avoid this) |
| Dual Pointed Variable | -Stores things you'll know will have the same value - Imagine labeling a cardboard bod with two different names - ie: "Name" and "Channel Name" |
| Naming Variables | - Names MUST be one continuous string -Programmers have their own method of naming variables - Most programmers name variables according to camelCase |
| camelCase | - Don't capitalize the first word, but capitalize every word the follows it -Easier to find bugs and read the code - ie: camelCaseVariable anotherCamelCaseVariable |
