Word scramble
Unscramble the letters and write each key term on the line.
1
POI AHRCT
A table with Input, Process and Output columns that lists what the user enters, the calculations and decisions the code makes, and the results or messages it displays.
2
NETTDS1[U]
Reads a field from a record stored as a tuple by its index position. Indexes start at 0, so student[0] is the first field. You must know which field sits at which index.
3
OCBANARTIST
A class shows only the details needed to use it and hides the complicated working behind simple methods, so you can use a method without knowing how it works inside.
4
ANSIETLCOUNAP
Bundling an object's data and the methods that use it into one class, and controlling access so the data is only changed in safe ways through those methods.
5
MGNANI OCNNVNTOEI
An agreed pattern for naming variables, functions, classes and constants so code is consistent, uses meaningful names and is easy to read.
6
ALEMASCCE
A naming style with no spaces: the first word is lowercase and each later word starts with a capital letter, like studentScore. PascalCase also capitalises the first word.
7
ANNRUIAHG OAIOTNNT
Starting a variable name with a short data type prefix, then a descriptive name, such as strName, intAge, fltPrice or blnPassed.
8
CASKE_SENA
A naming style where all letters are lowercase and words are joined by underscores, like student_score. Python uses it for variables and functions, and it should be used consistently.

1POI AHRCT → IPO chart — A table with Input, Process and Output columns that lists what the user enters, the calculations and decisions the code makes, and the results or messages it displays.
2NETTDS1[U] → student[1] — Reads a field from a record stored as a tuple by its index position. Indexes start at 0, so student[0] is the first field. You must know which field sits at which index.
3OCBANARTIST → abstraction — A class shows only the details needed to use it and hides the complicated working behind simple methods, so you can use a method without knowing how it works inside.
4ANSIETLCOUNAP → encapsulation — Bundling an object's data and the methods that use it into one class, and controlling access so the data is only changed in safe ways through those methods.
5MGNANI OCNNVNTOEI → naming convention — An agreed pattern for naming variables, functions, classes and constants so code is consistent, uses meaningful names and is easy to read.
6ALEMASCCE → camelCase — A naming style with no spaces: the first word is lowercase and each later word starts with a capital letter, like studentScore. PascalCase also capitalises the first word.
7ANNRUIAHG OAIOTNNT → Hungarian notation — Starting a variable name with a short data type prefix, then a descriptive name, such as strName, intAge, fltPrice or blnPassed.
8CASKE_SENA → snake_case — A naming style where all letters are lowercase and words are joined by underscores, like student_score. Python uses it for variables and functions, and it should be used consistently.
