(without human interaction)
Computer science- the art of blending digital tools and ideas
to increase problem solving power

a function to customize it
Function- a piece of code that cab be called over and over
Function Call- The place in your program where you call a
function you have defined.

Notes
Function definition- the place where you assign a series of
actions to one easy-to-remember name
Variable- a placeholder for a value that can change
Conditional- A statement that is either true or false
depending on the situation
If statement- a line that determines whether or not you run
a certain chunk of code
Else- another way of saying otherwise
