        ✥   Address Bus: It is used to transfer addresses of memory locations for the CPU to perform read/write operations in the memory.
        ✥   Adware: An adware is a software that displays advertisements to users of the Internet and mobile applications.
        ✥   Algorithm: A sequence of steps to be followed in solving a problem.
        ✥   Apache: Apache is an open-source software project, an initiative by the Apache Software Foundation (ASF).
        ✥   Arithmetic Logic Unit  (ALU):  The Arithmetic  Logic  Unit  (ALU)  of  the CPU performs all  arithmetic  (+,-,*,/) and  logical
            (>,<,>=,<=,<>) operations.
        ✥   Assembler: It converts the program written in assembly language to machine language.
        ✥   Assignment Operators: Assignment operators are used to assign the value of the operand on the right-hand side of the
            operator to the operand on the left-hand side of the operator.
        ✥   Boot sector virus: A boot sector virus is a virus that affects the boot sector of the disks.
        ✥   break statement: The break statement terminates the same loop in which it is defined and moves the control to the next
            statement immediately following the loop.
        ✥   Built-in functions: A function is invoked using the function’s name followed by the sequence of arguments (separated by
            commas) within a pair of matching parentheses.
        ✥   Cache Memory: The cache memory is a special high speed memory storing the most recently accessed data.
        ✥   Compiler: A compiler converts a program written in a high-level language to an equivalent program in the computer’s machine
            language.
        ✥   Concatenation Operator +: The concatenation operator concatenates and yields a tuple comprising  the elements of the first
            tuple.
        ✥   Conditional Flow: In case of conditional flow, the execution of the statements depends upon a conditional expression.
        ✥   Conditional  Statements: A conditional  statement may also  be referred to  as a decision-making  statement or branching
            statement.
        ✥   continue Statement: When a continue statement is encountered, the remaining statement(s) in the loop is skipped and the
            control jumps to the beginning of the loop for the next iteration.
        ✥   Control Bus: It is used to transfer control signals between various computer components.
        ✥   Control Unit (CU): The Control Unit (CU) controls the execution of instructions and the flow of data amongst the components
            of a computer.
        ✥   Copyright Infringement: The use or creation  of  copyright-protected works without  the owner’s consent is  copyright
            infringement.
        ✥   Copyright: When an author or an organisation sets a work in a physical form of expression, they have a copyright on it that
            prevents others from claiming its ownership.
        ✥   CPU: Central Processing Unit (CPU) is the computer’s brain and is responsible  for carrying out all  the processing in the
            computer system.
        ✥   Cyber Bullying: When a victim is bullied online, on social media, or in gaming communities, that is known as cyberbullying.
        ✥   Cyber Forensics: Cyber forensics aims to use the IT infrastructure to track cybercrimes.
        ✥   Cyber Law: Cyber laws are statutory provisions against various forms of cybercrime.
        ✥   Cyber Trolls: Trolls are comments or posts that insult or defame other users or their content.
        ✥   Cybercrime: Cybercrimes are crimes related to the misuse of resources available on the Internet.
        ✥   Data Bus: It is used to transfer data between different components.
        ✥   Debugging: The process of identifying and removing such errors is known as debugging.
        ✥   Delimiters: Delimiters are symbols used to separate various tokens in a statement.
        ✥   Dictionary in Python: A dictionary is an unordered set of key:value pairs.
        ✥   Dictionary: A dictionary (dict) is an unordered set of key-value pairs enclosed in curly brackets:{}.
