Study Notes

Introduction to Programming

  • Programming is creating instructions for a computer to perform tasks.
  • It uses programming languages to translate human logic into machine instructions.
  • The objective is efficient problem-solving and automation.

Key Concepts in Programming

  • Programming Languages: Tools (e.g., Java, Python, C++, JavaScript) for writing code.
  • Program Structure: Involves input, processing, and output stages.
    • Input: Data fed into the program.
    • Processing: Computations or actions on the data.
    • Output: The program's result.
  • Steps in Programming:
    • Problem Identification: Understanding the problem.
    • Algorithm Design: Creating a step-by-step solution.
    • Implementation: Writing code in a programming language.
    • Testing and Debugging: Verifying code and fixing errors.
    • Deployment: Making the program usable.

Algorithm, Flowchart, and Pseudocode

  • Algorithm: A step-by-step procedure for solving a problem.
  • Characteristics of Algorithms:
    • Definiteness: Clear and explicit steps.
    • Finiteness: Terminate after a finite number of steps.
    • Input/Output: Accepts input and produces output.
    • Effectiveness: Simple enough steps to execute.
