22.  Inheritance: It is the method which allows one class to inherit the properties (data members and member
                       methods) of another class.
                   23.  Insertion: It is the process of adding an element at any desired position in the array.

                   24.  Internet of Things (IoT): It is an advanced network of interconnected computing devices (things) that have
                       embedded sensors,  software,  and other technologies  designed to connect and exchange  data with other
                       devices and systems over the internet.
                   25.  Inverse: It is the proposition obtained by taking the negated antecedent and the negated consequent in a
                       conditional.

                   26.  Logic gate: It is a digital circuit that depicts a logical relationship between the input and output voltages of the
                       circuit.
                   27.  Merging: It is the process of combining two or more than two arrays.

                   28.  Object: It is a unique entity that contains properties, methods and events in an object-oriented programming
                       language.
                   29.  Open-source software (OSS): It is computer software that is released under a license in which the copyright
                       holder grants users the rights to use, study, change, and distribute the software and its source code to anyone
                       and for any purpose.

                   30.  Package: It is a container for groups of related classes, sub-classes, sub-packages, and interfaces.
                   31.  Phishing: It refers to cybercrimes where spam email messages are sent to different people to get personal
                       information like user name, password, card details, etc. When a physical form of stalking is done through
                       technology and electronic medium then it is known as Cyberstalking.
                   32.  Polymorphism: It is the feature of being able to allot a dissimilar meaning so that a variable, a method or an
                       object can have more than one form.

                   33.  Pseudocode: It is a representation of an algorithm in any standard human readable language and mathematical
                       notations.

                   34.  Recursion: It is a programming technique in which the function calls itself repeatedly until an exit condition
                       called the base case is achieved.

                   35.  Recursive case: It is the condition in which the function calls itself repeatedly with the changed value of the
                       arguments.
                   36.  Searching: It is used to determine whether an element is present in the array or not.

                   37.  Sorting: It is the process of arranging the elements either in the ascending or the descending order.

                   38.  Tautology: It is a proposition that has 1 as its truth value, and a contradiction has 0 as its truth value.
                   39.  Unicode: It is  an  International  character  encoding standard  that includes  different languages,  scripts and
                       symbols.

                   40.  Virtual  Reality: It is  an  artificial  environment that is  experienced through  sensory stimuli  (such  as sights
                       and sounds) provided by a computer and in which one’s actions partially determine what happens in the
                       environment.
