Starting with the highest level task and breaking it down into sub-tasks (sub system)

Thoroughly testing each component (sub task) individually

Step by step procedure for solving a problem

what statement can do anything what can do, but not necessarily better

switch excels at what

errors in a program

process of removing errors from a program

violations of a programming languages' grammar rules; detected by interpreter before run time

Case sensitive or mistype error

When a program executes "successfully" but produces incorrect results

Mistakes not flagged by interpreter that crash the program during execution. 

like illegal math operations
divide by zero

Enable statements to execute more than once

uncontrollable loops

executing loops a certain number of times

use when number of loop iteration is unknown in advance length (arr)

immediately ends the current loop, then the program execution continues from the end of the loop

returns date information as a string

returns six element array

starts timer or resets it

will show elapsed time

starting number that dictates the pseurandom number sequence produced

numerical analysis approach to computation that uses random sampling to solve problems

the process of replacing loops w/array opperations

a logical array that selects he elements of another array for use in an operation

examines code between execution 

looks for code that may execute more than once

Translating to machine code before run-time

Values passed calling invoking a function

values returned by a function when it ends

is used by looking for function

when a function is called, only the actual value is passed to the function.

the part of the code where a variable can be referenced

viewing an object (function) in terms of its input and output characteristics

If you want to retain/preserve a variable between function cells

breaking you search method in half
