Study Notes
Knowing the Computer
- A computer consists of basic parts: Central Processing Unit, Input, and Output devices
- Input devices (e.g., Keyboards, mice, scanners) allow users to enter commands and data
- Output devices are hardware components that show or send data from the computer to the user or other devices
Memory Hierarchy
- Primary Memory (RAM):
- Stores data and instructions currently being processed
- Volatile, meaning its contents are lost when the computer is turned off
- Secondary Memory (ROM):
- Non-volatile, meaning its contents are not lost when the computer is turned off
- Stores data and programs permanently
Principle of Abstraction
- Hides the internal functionality of a function from users
- Users only interact with the basic implementation of the function, while the inner workings are hidden
Language Hierarchy
- High-Level Language:
- Python is an example of a high-level language
- Uses a compiler or interpreter to execute code
- Interpreter (Python):
- Executes code directly, without the need for compilation
What is Python?
- Python is a popular programming language
- Characteristics:
- High-level
- Interpreted
- Dynamically-typed
- Simple
- Readable
- Versatile
Applications of Python
- Used for:
- Web development (server-side)
- Software development
- Machine Learning
- And many more
Why Python?
- Simple syntax
- Easy to learn
- Suitable for Software Development, Web Development, and Machine Learning
- Can be used for many projects
- Can lead to job readiness
