AP CSP REVIEW

a problem solving approach (algorithm) to find a satisfactory solution where finding an optimal or exact solution is impractical or impossible

a data compression algorithm that allows the original data to be perfectly reconstructed from the compressed data.

A type of data used for graphics or pictures

is data that describes other data. For example, a digital image my include metadata that describe the size of the image, number of colors, or resolution.

short for "picture element" it is the fundamental unit of a digital image, typically a tiny square or dot which contains a single point of color of a larger image

the RGB color model uses varying intensities of (R)ed, (G)reen, and (B)lue light are added together in to reproduce a broad array of colors.

a data compression method that uses inexact approximations, discarding some data to represent the content. Most commonly seen in image formats like .jpg.

Pulling out specific differences to make one solution work for multiple problems

a computation in which rows from a data set are grouped together and used to compute a single value of more significant meaning or measurement. Common aggregations include: Average, Count, Sum, Max, Median, etc.

in most spreadsheet software it is the name of the tool used to create summary tables.

a table that shows the results of aggregations performed on data from a larger data set, hence a "summary" of larger data. Spreadsheet software typically calls them "pivot tables"

A novel or improved idea, device, product, etc, or the development thereof.

A way of representing information using only two options.

A contraction of "Binary Digit". A bit is the single unit of information in a computer, typically represented as a 0 or 1.

Transmission capacity measure by bit rate
