Swift Playgrounds – Learn to Code Part 1: Fundamentals of Swift – Flashcards

Code that tells the program to perform a specific action.

Apple's programming language, used for writing apps for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple TV.

An error in code that prevents a program from running as expected.

To find and fix errors in code that prevent a program from running correctly.

The Act of composing commands, code, structures, and algorithms to create a computer program.

The process of combining small parts of a program to solve a larger problem.

A named set of commands that can be run whenever needed.

To provide the explicit value or behavior of a newly created piece of code, such as a function, variable, or custom type. For example, you define a function by providing a set of commands within the function to tell it what to do.

To tell a program to run a function. For example, calling the moveForward() function in your code tells the program to perform the actions defined in that function.

A repeating set of circumstances or data.

The process of breaking a large problem into smaller, more manageable pieces.

A block of code that's repeated a certain number of times (for example, a for loop) or until a condition is met (for example, a while loop).

A block of repeated code that runs a certain number of times.

A Code structure used to run code based on the value of one or more conditions. The first block of code in an if statement is the if block. An if statement might also contain other blocks that provide additional checks. For example, an else block runs if all conditions in the if statement are false. An else if block checks a condition that isn't checked by the if block or any other else if blocks.

A block of code in an if statement, used to check a condition that isn't checked by the if block or any other else if blocks.
