| emulator | A simulator that imitates a program or events. |
| algorithm | An ordered set of instructions that are used to carry out a task. |
| flowchart | A diagram that represents an algorithm, work flow, or process, and uses geometric symbols connected by arrows to show the direction of the flow of action. |

| program | A set of instructions that a computer executes to achieve a particular objective. |
| end user | A representative consumer for whom a hardware or software product is designed. |
| view layer | The layer of an app that the user sees and interacts with |
| controller layer | The layer of an app that contains the program that tells the app how to behave |
