AT A GLANCE
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science that simulates human intelligence in machines,
particularly in computer systems.
Data is a collection of raw facts, figures, or statistics that a computer can save and work with.
Understanding the types of data is essential because it determines how data is collected, stored, processed,
and analysed.
Data based on nature is classified into Textual Data (Qualitative Data) and Numeric Data (Quantitative Data).
Textual data is information expressed in words, letters, or sentences rather than numbers.
Numeric data consists of information represented in numbers.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) depends heavily on data to make accurate and informed decisions.
A primary data source refers to the original source from which data is collected firsthand.
Secondary data sources provide information that has been gathered, processed, and published by
someone else.
The evolution of computing traces the journey from simple calculation tools to the advanced, interconnected
digital systems that drive today's world.
Binary code is the fundamental language of computers, used to represent, store, and manipulate all forms
of data.
A logic gate is a small electronic component that forms the basic building block of digital circuits.
There are seven types of basic gate and each type of gate behaves differently.
Conditional gates are logical constructs that produce an output depending on whether specific conditions
applied to their inputs are true or false.
A deterministic problem is one where the outcome is always certain and predictable.
A probabilistic problem is one where the outcome is not guaranteed, even if the inputs look the same.
Decision-making in machines enables automation, reduces human intervention, and improves efficiency.
Cyber security is the process of protecting computers, networks, software, and important data from being
damaged, stolen, or accessed by unauthorised individuals.
Data types in Python specify the type of values that a variable can hold.
Control statements in programming languages are essential tools that allow developers to dictate the flow
of execution within their code.
A function is a block of organised and reusable code used to perform a single or related action
