| Computer Program | A set of instructions that the computer follows to perform a task. |
| Computer | A device that follows instructions. Not just any kind of instruction, it only works with data. It can calculate, sort, display. |
| Computer Programmers | People who create programs or software. |
| Programming Code | A code that consist of simple English words (statements). The algorithm is transferred into the code. The code is also called programming language. |
| Machine Language | The language of the computer. Computer understand s only binary numbers. They are 1s or 0s. |
| Compiler or Interpreter | A software that translates programming code in to machine language. |
| Alice | A computer program that helps you learn the concept of programming . It lets you create 3D virtual worlds with variety of objects. The objects are already populated in the program. |
| This is the part of the Alice prgram that hold the list of all the objects in the world. | Object Tree |
| Method | This is set of instruction that an object follows. |
| Event Editor | This is the part of the Alice program that is used to create mouse events or key events. |
| Properties | Each object in an Alice world has these, which are values that specify the object's characteristics. |
| Bounding box | This is a yellow box that appears around an object to indicate that it is selected. |
| Details Panel | This is the part of the Alice program where an object's properties are displayed. |
| Editor | This is the area of the Alice program where you place the instructions for the objects. |
| Pseudocode | This is a way of writing out the steps of an algorithm in English. |
| Do in order | This is a structure that causes a group of instructions to be executed in the order that they appear inside the structure. |
| Loop | This instruction causes one or more other instructions to repeat a certain number of times. |
| Do together | This structure can be used to execute a set of instructons at the same time. |
| Primitive methods | This is what all objects in an Alice world have. |
| Key Events | When any key on the keyboard is pressed an action is taken by the object. |
