This glossary defines common terms used in our class. Most are split up by the week they are introduced, though you can skip to course-specific terms for acronyms and words that are about our class itself (rather than computer science concepts).

This glossary is a new experimental resource! We’d love to hear from you with questions, suggestions, or concerns. Post on Ed!

Definitions will be posted shortly…

Footnotes¶

* This is a topic that is not covered deeply in CSE 121. However, you’ll revisit this idea in-depth in CSE 122 & 123.
