- P -
- parameter
-
Formal parameter is the term used to identify input variables that are used inside the body of a Java method or a jLogo procedure. In Java, parameter declarations are part of a method's header. In jLogo, parameter declarations are part of a procedure's header, its to phrase. In jLogo, parameters are also known as inputs.
Parameter declarations specify what stuff is expected when a method or procedure is invoked.
- primitive type
-
In Java, all fields and methods are declared to be of a specific type. Types are either primitive types or reference types. The primitive types are:
Keyword Values boolean literals: true, false byte -128 .. 127 char 0 .. 65535 short -32768 .. 32767 int -2147483648 .. 2147483647 long -9223372036854775808 .. 9223372036854775807 float single-precision 32-bit IEEE 754 values double double-precision 64-bit IEEE 754 values - pseudocode
- Pseudocode is a term used to refer to an early stage representation of an algorithm, a computer program or piece of one. It consists of expressions in a native language, English for example, that describe the ordered set of steps that make up the piece of a program you are writing. The purpose is to use this representation as an outline or a model of what you need to do - without worrying about the details.
