Scrambling digital information into an unreadable form. Only those with verified authority (password, key, etc) can unscramble it to read it.
An encryption method in which each letter of the message is shifted by a certain amount, called the key
Public key encryption is a type of asymmetric key encryption. There’s one key that encrypts the information and there is a different key that decrypts the information.
When the same key is used to both encrypt and decrypt.
When one key encrypts and a different key decrypts.
A shared secret that allows the recipient to convert ciphertext into plaintext.
The conversion of encrypted data into its original form.
Traditionally the very first program you write when learning a programming language, a program that prints "Hello world" to the user.
Declaring a variable is defining it for the first time.
Initializing a variable is giving it an initial value.
Assigning to a variable is updating the variable's value
Arithmetic operators include + addition, - subtraction, * multiplication, / division, and % modulus. These operators are used to perform basic mathematical tasks.
An algorithm is a set of steps or rules to follow to solve a particular problem.
A programming language is any set of rules that converts strings, or graphical program elements in the case of visual programming languages, to various kinds of machine code output.

Defining a function means to teach the computer a new command and explain what it should do when receiving that command.
Calling a function actually gives the command, so the computer will run the code for that function.
Managing complexity by "abstracting away" information and detail, in order to focus on the relevant concepts.
The ability to use methods and programs that we do not fully understand, or are unable to write.
An API (application programming interface) is a set of tools for building programs.
An if statement lets you ask a question to the program and only run code if the answer is true.
Control structure that lets us run either one section of code or another depending on a test.
A statement that evaluates to true or false.
