Words to know

Random
Chosen by chance so every option has an equal, unpredictable chance of being picked.
MAC address
A hardware ID burned into every network card, like a serial number. It works only on your local network.
Beautify / format
Adding line breaks and indentation so code is easy for humans to read. It does not change what the code does.
Unit conversion
Changing a value from one measurement to another, like kilometers to miles. The amount stays the same; only the unit changes.
SSID / WPA
SSID is your Wi-Fi’s name. WPA2/WPA3 is the password protection used by almost all routers.
