(based of the glossary in [Programming: Principles and Practice using C++](http://www.stroustrup.com/programming.html))
* *abstract class*: a class that cannot be directly used to create objects; often used to define an interface to derived classes.
A class is made abstract by having a pure virtual function or a protected constructor.
A class is made abstract by having a pure virtual function or only protected constructors.
* *abstraction*: a description of something that selectively and deliberately ignores (hides) details (e.g., implementation details); selective ignorance.
* *address*: a value that allows us to find an object in a computer's memory.
* *algorithm*: a procedure or formula for solving a problem; a finite series of computational steps to produce a result.

* *function*: a named unit of code that can be invoked (called) from different parts of a program; a logical unit of computation.
* *generic programming*: a style of programming focused on the design and efficient implementation of algorithms.
A generic algorithm will work for all argument types that meet its requirements. In C++, generic programming typically uses templates.
* *Global variable*: Technically, a named object in namespace scope
* *global variable*: technically, a named object in namespace scope.
* *handle*: a class that allows access to another through a member pointer or reference. See also resource, copy, move.
* *header*: a file containing declarations used to share interfaces between parts of a program.
* *hiding*: the act of preventing a piece of information from being directly seen or accessed.

* *literal*: a notation that directly specifies a value, such as 12 specifying the integer value "twelve."
* *loop*: a piece of code executed repeatedly; in C++, typically a for-statement or a while-statement.
* *move*: an operation that transfers a value from one object to another leaving behind a value representing "empty." See also copy.
* *mutable*: changeable; the opposite of immutable, constant, and variable.
* *mutable*: changeable; the opposite of immutable, constant, and invariable.
* *object*: (1) an initialized region of memory of a known type which holds a value of that type; (2) a region of memory.
* *object code*: output from a compiler intended as input for a linker (for the linker to produce executable code).
* *object file*: a file containing object code.
