Strongly Typed -ANS-What type of language is Pascal? This type of language helps to
reduce run time errors by forcing declaration of variables & data types, & captialisation.
Constant -ANS-An item of data whose value DOESN'T change
Variable -ANS-An item of data whose value COULD change, while being run
Algorithm -ANS-A sequence of steps that can be followed to complete a task in a finite
number of steps, always terminates.
Element -ANS-A single value within an array (list)
Record -ANS-One line of a text file
Selection -ANS-Principle of choosing what action to take, based on certain criteria
(conditions) - IF & CASE STATEMENTS
Nesting -ANS-Placing one set of instructions inside another set of instructions
Iteration -ANS-Principle of repeating processes - FOR, WHILE, REPEAT UNTIL
Definite iteration -ANS-Process that repeats a set number of times - FOR LOOP
Indefinite Iteration -ANS-Process that repeats until a certain criteria is met - WHILE
