Appendix A (Jargon)
- 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.
- pseudocode
- Pseudocode is a term used to refer to an early stage representation of a computer program, or piece of one. It consists of expressions in a native language, English for example, that describe the steps that make up the piece of the 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.
