Coding Word Search
This coding word search holds forty terms a student meets when learning to program: the variable, the loop, the function, the Boolean and the string, plus syntax, debug, pseudocode and the sprite that moves in Scratch.
Every program is built from three ideas: sequence, where steps run in order; selection, where an if and an else choose between paths; and repetition, where a loop repeats a block until a condition changes. A variable is a named box that holds a value, and a function is a set of steps with a name, so you can run it again without writing it twice. Writing the plan in plain words first, as pseudocode or a flowchart, catches mistakes before the syntax gets in the way.
Ada Lovelace wrote what is often called the first computer program in 1843, a set of steps for Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine, a machine that was never finished. The Boolean type, which holds only true or false, is named after George Boole, an English mathematician who set out the rules of that two-value logic in 1854. Scratch, the block language from the MIT Media Lab, came out in 2007, and its characters are called sprites.
