| Variable | something that changes during a program for example the score of a game |
| Data types | the type of data, how it is stored and what it can be used for |
| Array | one dimensional one dimensional is a linier list E.G first name last name, two dimensional a table |
| Sequencing | Getting things in the right order (The sequence that statements are executed is normally the same order that there listed in the code.) |
| Selection | A logical decision is made to determine which rought is taken through a program |
| scope | • The scope of variables or constants within computer programs is the place in which that variable or constant name can be used. extra If a variable or constant is not in scope, then it cannot be referred to by name or written into; it is effectively invisible to that part of the program. |

| Procedures and Functions (Repeated tasks) | A series of statements that exist outside the main program and that can be called upon |
| For loops While | For loops = run a set number (n) of times While – Keeps going until user says stop |
| Program flow control | Need to be structured because: Makes it readable and reliable Makes it understandable and easier to maintain TO do this Brake complex problems into a series of smaller and more practicable steps Smaller jobs and problems or easier steps to understand |
| Character | Character data type can store a single alphanumeric character, such as: digit, letter, symbol or any punctuation marks. |
| Integer | Integer data type can store any whole number, such as: -115, 0, 2, 341 |
| Real | Real data types are used when there is a decimal point with a fractional number, such as: -32.15678, 0.012, 59.00564, 72.0 |
| Boolean | Boolean data types are used for logical operations and have the value True or False |
