Programming Terminology Definitions

The document defines programming terms like IDE, PWM, conditions, compiler, library, loop, digital/analog, input/output, variable, function, include and init. An IDE is software for building applications. PWM controls analog devices digitally. Conditions evaluate actions using statements like IF. A compiler translates coding languages. A library contains reusable scripts.

Definitions - Programming

Jack Everett
IDE
Integrated Development Environment

Software for building applications


PWM
Pulse Width Modulation

Way to control analog devices with a digital output


Conditions
Statements that are created by the programmer that evaluates actions

IF statements
Compiler/Compile
A program that translates one coding language into another

C++ and Java both use a compiler


Library
A collection of scripts that can be used to perform certain prewritten actions
LOOP
A group of coding that is repeated multiple times
Digital/Analog
Digital - Process of using binary digits instead of letters or numbers. 1 and 0, on or
off

Analog - Continuous signal, not just 1 and 0, not on/off


Input/Output
Input - What you put into the code to receive an output

Output - What you receive as an effect of the input


Variable
A value that can change due to different conditions
Function
A chunk of code that can be used over and over again often found in libraries
Include and init
Initialization - the process of setting a value for a variable

Include - Copy / Paste of files or code. Includes code from one file to another
