Word scramble
Unscramble the letters and write each key term on the line.
1
AATD TNIRDAYOCI
A table listing each data element with its name, data type, size or format, description and validation rule, so everyone uses the data the same way when coding and testing.
2
SASLC RAAMGID
A box listing a class's name, attributes and methods. An arrow joins a child class to the parent it inherits from. You draw it as a plan before writing the code.
3
EBCJTO EOITRNCSPDI
A design table for a class that lists its name, its attributes with data types, and its methods with their parameters and purpose.
4
TSE_GTAR = 1.0
A constant: a named value set once and never changed while the program runs. Written in UPPER_CASE by convention, it replaces magic numbers and is easy to update in one place.
5
NEUEEQCS
A control structure where statements run one after another, top to bottom, so changing their order can change the result.
6
ESDTEN FI
An if statement indented inside another if block. The inner condition is only checked when the outer condition is True.
7
UCTNO += 1
Set count = 0 before a loop, then use ______ inside it to add 1 each repeat. Use total += value to build a running total.
8
MAGNNI NCVEOONNTI
An agreed pattern for naming variables, functions and controls so code is readable, consistent across a team and easier to maintain and debug.

1AATD TNIRDAYOCI → data dictionary — A table listing each data element with its name, data type, size or format, description and validation rule, so everyone uses the data the same way when coding and testing.
2SASLC RAAMGID → class diagram — A box listing a class's name, attributes and methods. An arrow joins a child class to the parent it inherits from. You draw it as a plan before writing the code.
3EBCJTO EOITRNCSPDI → object description — A design table for a class that lists its name, its attributes with data types, and its methods with their parameters and purpose.
4TSE_GTAR = 1.0 → GST_RATE = 0.1 — A constant: a named value set once and never changed while the program runs. Written in UPPER_CASE by convention, it replaces magic numbers and is easy to update in one place.

7UCTNO += 1 → count += 1 — Set count = 0 before a loop, then use count += 1 inside it to add 1 each repeat. Use total += value to build a running total.
