Python 4

Front 1

modulus operator

Back 1

An operator, denoted with a percent sign (%), that works on integers and yields the remainder when one number is divided by another.

Front 2

boolean expression

Back 2

An expression that is either true or false.

Front 3

comparison operator

Back 3

One of the operators that compares two values: ==, !=, >, <, >=, and <=.

Front 4

logical operator

Back 4

Front 5

conditional statement

Back 5

A statement that controls the flow of execution depending on some condition.

Front 6

condition

Back 6

The boolean expression in a conditional statement that determines which branch is executed.

Front 7

compound statement

Back 7

A statement that consists of a header and a body. The header ends with a colon (:). The body is indented relative to the header.

Front 8

block

Back 8

A group of consecutive statements with the same indentation.

Front 9

body

Back 9

The block in a compound statement that follows the header.

Front 10

nesting

Back 10

One program structure within another, such as a conditional statement inside a branch of another conditional statement.

Front 11

recursion

Back 11

The process of calling the function that is currently executing.

Front 12

base case

Back 12

A branch of the conditional statement in a recursive function that does not result in a recursive call.

Front 13

infinite recursion

Back 13

A function that calls itself recursively without ever reaching the base case. Eventually, an infinite recursion causes a runtime error.

Front 14

prompt

Back 14

A visual cue that tells the user to input data.
