owns it.
✥ Literal: A literal refers to a constant or a fixed value.
✥ Malware: Malware is a program that aims to hurt a computer, server, client, or computer network.
✥ max(): max() function returns the largest value from the sequence of values provided as the input argument.

✥ min(): min() function returns the smallest value from the sequence of values provided as the argument.
✥ Modification: Changing, inserting, and/or deleting information.
✥ Modular Approach: The process of dividing a complex problem into subproblems, solving the subproblems, and merging the
solutions to the subproblems to solve the original problem is called the modular approach.

✥ Modular Programming: The programming methodology that focuses on organising a computer program into separate blocks
of code or sub-programs (each having a name and functionality) is called modular programming.

✥ Multiplication Operator *: The multiplication operator concatenates the string the specified number of times.
✥ Mutable: A modifiable object and its associated type are called mutable.
✥ myDict.items(): The method items() returns a dict_items object comprising the set of items included in the dictionary.
✥ myDict.keys(): The method keys() returns a dict_keys object comprising all the keys included in the dictionary.

✥ myDict.update(): The method update() adds all key-value pairs of another dictionary in an existing dictionary.
✥ myDict.values(): The method values() returns a dict_values object comprising all the values included in the dictionary.
✥ Nested Lists: A list that includes lists as its elements is called a nested list.
✥ Nested Loops: When a loop appears within another loop, it is called a nested loop.
✥ Operating System: An operating system provides an interface between the users of a computer and the computer hardware
so that they can operate the computer.
✥ Operator: An operator is used to perform a specific operation on an object or objects.
✥ Operators: Operators are tokens that perform a particular operation on the given values, called operands.
✥ Output Devices: The output devices receive data from a computer and deliver the desired output on a suitable device for a
user.
✥ Patent: A patent is a property right that an autonomous body (or a sovereign state) grants to the inventor for a specific
amount of time.
✥ Plagiarism: When someone passes off the words, ideas, or expressions of another author as their own, it is an act of plagiarism.

✥ Primary Memory: Primary memory is used to store data and instructions to be processed by the CPU.
✥ Program(code): A sequence of instructions in a programming language for solving a problem.
✥ Pseudocode: It describes an algorithm using constructs similar to a programming language but not specific to any programming
language.

✥ Python module: A Python program file is called a Python module.
✥ RAM: RAM is a random access memory in which data can be read from and written onto any random memory location.
✥ Ransomware: It is a type of malicious software that holds data or devices hostage for a ransom.
✥ Relational Operator: A relational operator is used to compare the values of operands on either side.

✥ ROM: ROM is a non-volatile memory that stores the data permanently.
✥ Sequential Flow: In a sequential flow, the statements are execute d sequentially, one after the other.
✥ Set: A set is an unordered and unindexed collection of data items separated by a comma and enclosed within curly brackets:{}.
✥ Software: A set of programs that performs a useful task is called software.
✥ sorted(): The method sorted() is used to sort the dictionary by the keys or by the values.
✥ Source Code: A program written in a high-level programming language is called the source code.
