9. Data made from a collection of characters.
13. A data type that contains a finite amount of repeatable elements.
15. A continuous string within a string.
16. An encoding scheme where each character is represented using 8 bits/1 byte.
18. When unnecessary parts of a program/algorithm are removed.
19. The process of organizing characters into a better/more efficient form of transmission.
23. Noise Inaccuracies of output due to the size of input data.
25. An encoding scheme where information is transmitted using dots/dashes or clicks/tones.
26. An adjective describing an algorithm that chooses between two options.
28. The act of "chaining together" strings in a list.

24. A data format for receiving, processing, and storing data.
27. Pairing members of one list to another OR applying a function to a list to get a new, proportional one.
30. Search A slow method to locating an element in a list, where each element is checked sequentially.
