ASCII
American Standard Code for Information Interchange, developed by the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI). System of representing an alphabetic, numeric,
or special character with a 7-bit binary number (string of seven 0s or 1s), which

tag has a value
that is equal to the location of the image to display.
breakpoint
Point in your code where the debugger stops processing and waits for your input.
browser
Program that displays markup language documents and other documents, based on
a document’s structure. Different Web browsers have different rules for the code they
accept and how they display the content of different tags.
class
In CSS, a class is a style definition that is a subset of another style definition. For
example, you could define a class of the paragraph tag for contact information, to
make contact information display centered in large, red, bold text.
In object-oriented programming, a class is a user-defined type (as opposed to int,
which is a built-in type). Classes have defined characteristics and behaviors, known
as
attributes and methods . A class serves as a blueprint for an object.
