clauses, loops and functions: for example an if statement
conditionally executes a block of code.
A generic form of program code that needs to be written time
and again, generally performing a mundane task.
A value representing whether something is logically true or
logically false. In Python there are special True and False
computer objects to represent these two truth values.
The occasion of executing a general function (running a
subroutine) with specific data.
A function that is executed in response to the actions of the user,
typically interacting via a graphical interface.
The use of mixed capitalisation within a conjoined word. Used
in programming to join separate words into a single variable
name, e.g. rootMeanSquare: an alternative to concatenating with
underscores, e.g. root_mean_square.
In data modelling, the number of items that is represented by an
object attribute. An attribute may represent a collection, and
thus the cardinality is the size of that collection. For example an
Atom object may have three values in its coordinates attribute,
to specify its 3D (x, y, z) position.
A theorem that says that the mean value of a large number of
measurements of independent and identically distributed
random variables is approximately normal (follows a Gaussian
distribution).
The geometric centre of a shape (defined by a set of locations).
If weightings are included, such as atomic masses in a molecule,
the centroid may be the centre of mass.
The means of extending the functionality of a high-level
programming language, like Python, by creating a module in the
low-level C programming language (generally quicker to run)

which can be incorporated directly in the high-level language
using normal syntax.
The ability to manipulate a data item so that its value or content
changes internally, but leaving the handle (reference) to the data
item unaffected.
The separate components of an image, e.g. red, green and blue,
which when combined form a complete image.
The separate signal streams of a composite data source.
The smallest, indivisible part of a piece of text that represents
letters, digits and punctuation etc. Computationally each
character is represented by a number within a specific scheme.
When referring to biological molecules, its physical and
chemical properties, e.g. whether it is hydrophobic (oily), polar,
charged etc.
A large, double-stranded DNA chain that is the particle of
inheritance in organisms. A chromosome is bound by proteins
and contains genes (sub-regions of DNA) that encode the
biological functions required for life. Each species has a distinct
number of chromosomes within its cells, and the total of all
chromosomes constitutes the genome.
A section of DNA which is bound by proteins such as histones
that package it into a more compact form and regulate its
expression, i.e. how it is read.
The abstract template that specifies how a specific kind of
computer object is constructed. Classes are used to create
custom data structures in programs, which frees the programmer
from having to only use the inbuilt data types.
In object-oriented programming, a function in a class that can be
defined independently of the properties of any object
constructed with the class.
