"Drag and Drop" quiz generator

Simply input your items here, one per line, and click 'submit' to create a quick and easy drag-and-drop exercise [sample].
TIP: Split items with an asterisk to create a quiz with a fixed left-hand column, as in: July 1916 * Battle of the Somme begins

Algorithm*A sequence of step-by-set instructions designed to solve a specific problem Decomposition*Breaking down a large problem into smaller problems to make them easier to solve Abstraction*The process of hiding complexity and presenting only the essential features to the user. IDE*An application that contains an interpreter to run a program and tools to help programmers such as auto complete, syntax checker, debugging tools. Syntax error*An error in the programming language. Eg. missing brackets or “” Program always crashes Logic error*An error in the algorithm. The program runs but produces an unexpected result. Runtime error*An errors that cause the program to crash but is not a syntax error. Eg. divide by zero or open a file that doesn’t Version control*Keeping copies of programs as you work on them so you can go back to a previous version if mess up Computational Thinking *The process of solving problems logically Initialise*Set up; eg a variable or array at the start of a program Modulo division *In Python uses the % sign. Returns the remainder of division as a whole number Integer division*In Python uses // Returns the whole part of division and gets rid of any remainder. Used when you do not want a fraction. Eg. half a person Variable*A named storage location in memory that holds a singlevalue which can be changed throughout the running of a program. CONSTANT*A named location in memory where the contents do not change during the running of a program. Sub program#A reusable chunk of code that can be called when required In-built sub program*A pre-defined function provided by the programming language such as print() and len() User-defined sub program*A block of reusable code that is defined by the user to perform a specific task within a program. Eg. def calc_area() Function*A sub program that returns a value back to the main part of the program Procedure*A sub program that does NOT return a value back to the main program Concatenate*To join. You can concatenate/join strings to strings but not strings to integers or floats Casting*Converting one data type to another. Eg. To allow concatenation. Eg. using str() or int() Integer*A data type. A whole number, positive or negative. Initialise as 0 Float* A data type. A real number. Contains a decimal point. Initialise as 0.0 String*A data type. Always within speech marks.. Linear search*A simple searching algorithm that sequentially checks each element in a list or array until a match is found or the end of the list is reached. Binary search*An efficient search algorithm that divides a sorted list in half at each step and compares the target value to the middle element. Bubble sort*A simple sorting algorithm that repeatedly compares and swaps adjacent elements until the list or array is sorted. Merge sort*An efficient sorting algorithm that recursively divides, sorts and merges sublists to produce a sorted list. Sequence*The order of lines of code that usually affect the outcome of a program Selection*The use of if….else in a program. Where a decision is made and a program branches Iteration*Looping over every item in a list/array or string. Using for loops Condition controlled loop*A repeat-until loop. Uses the keyword ‘while’ Repeats until a condition is met. Count controlled loop*A for loop. Repeats a set number of times. Array*A data structure that stores elements of the same data type. Record*A data structure that stores elements of different data types.
