Study Notes
Programming Languages
- Machine Language: The fundamental language directly understood by computers, consisting of binary code that is difficult for humans to read.
- Assembly Language: Uses mnemonics to represent machine instructions; allows for easier program writing but still closely tied to machine language.
- Middle-Level Language: Combines features of high-level and low-level languages; assembly language serves as a notable example, utilizing mnemonics for commands.
- C Programming Language: Machine-independent language commonly used for developing operating systems and applications including Windows, Oracle, and various others.
- Java: A high-level, class-based, object-oriented language known for its portability across platforms with minimal implementation dependencies.
- Python: A high-level, general-purpose language noted for its readability and the use of indentation for block structures.
- JavaScript (JS): A lightweight, interpreted programming language that supports first-class functions and is widely used for web development.
- C++: An object-oriented language enhancing the efficiency of code structure and reusability, reducing overall development costs.
- Swift: Developed by Apple Inc., this high-level, multi-paradigm language is designed for general-purpose programming.
Programming Concepts
- Coding: The process of translating design into functioning programs through writing code in a programming language.
- Programming: Involves defining the design to a computer and articulating methods for problem-solving.
- Data: Refers to collections of values or symbols conveying information that can be discrete or continuous.
- Compilation: The process of converting programming language code into machine-level instructions composed of binary code (0s and 1s).
- Debugging: Involves examining code for errors, fixing those issues, and recompiling to ensure functionality.
- Code: Refers to the set of instructions written in a programming language, known often as source code.
- Keywords: Reserved identifiers in programming languages with fixed meanings that cannot be reused as variable names.
- Identifiers: Comprises letters, digits, and special characters to create variable names in code.
Types of Errors in Programming
- Clerical Error: Mistakes like assigning identical statement numbers to different instructions.
- Logical Error: Errors due to missing crucial information, such as omitting important factors in a payroll system.
Programming Tools
- Decision Table: A structured format presenting complex conditions and associated actions.
- Flowchart: A visual representation that outlines the sequence of operations in a program.
C++ Integrated Development Environment (IDE)
- Menu Bar: Located at the top, displays dropdown menus for various options.
- Close Box: Upper left corner feature used to close the current window.
- Title Bar: Displays the name of the active window, situated below the menu bar.
- Desktop/Editor: Central area for arranging various windows for programming tasks.
- Frame: Provides a border for the window interface.
- Resize Corner: Allows the user to adjust the size of the active window.
- Message Compiler Window: Positioned beneath the editor, it shows compiler or linker messages.
- Status Area: Found at the bottom, it contains shortcut keys and offers assistance to users.
- Window Number: Identifies the specific window currently in use within the IDE.
