Unit 1 - Getting Started With Python

A formal language that computer scientists use to give instructions to the computer.

The programs that allow users to write and execute other programs, including operating systems such as Windows and macOS

Interfaces that present information to human users and receive input data or commands from them.

A major hardware component that consists of the arithmetic/logic unit and the control unit.

A software program that copies program code and data from secondary memory into primary memory before program execution.

The physical computing machine and its support devices.

Information that is produced by a program and sent to the external world.

Data obtained by a program from the external world during execution.

A software tool that behaves like a high-level computer.

Programs that allow human users to accomplish specialized tasks, such as word processing or database management.

A large program that allows the user to communicate with the hardware and performs various management tasks.

The default file descriptor where a process can write output.

The transformation of one piece of information into another piece of information.

The language used directly by the computer in all its calculations and processing.

Programs that make the machine do something, such as word processing, database management, or games.

Software that organizes data on secondary storage media.

An input stream where data is sent to and read by a program.

Software that supports the execution of a program.

A program that converts a program written in one language to an equivalent program in another language.

Software that presents information to human users and receive input data or commands from them.

A finite sequence of instructions that, when applied to a problem, will solve it.

A program that allows the user to enter text, such as a program, and save it in a file.

A digit, either 0 or 1, in a base-2 numeral system

The hardware components that perform computation and control the flow of execution.

A set of instructions that tells the machine (the hardware) what to do.

The symbols that are used to represent information in a form suitable for storage, processing, and communication.

An error in spelling, punctuation, or placement of certain key symbols in a program.
