Study List for FINAL EXAM

(Please note, this is not a complete list, you will see questions from the previous study lists on this test as well, so look at those items as well as the ones on this list)

NOTE in addition to these terms, the test will assume some knowledge of number base conversions, pseudocode, Math expression evaluation, Basic, Alice and Java.

You must research and understand these terms before taking the associated FINAL EXAM.

Here are two good sites to look for definitions:

Another resource: check out your CD that came with your "Computers understanding technology" book (the green book). It has information and terms on many topics that go far beyond it's 5 chapters. Look on the CD for materials from chapters 9 and 11 for these Programming terms.

Make sure you know them before taking the test! This test is worth more points than previous tests!
