Study Notes
Introduction to Programming
- This lesson introduces the concept of programming.
Understanding Algorithms and Logic
- Programming involves writing instructions for computers to follow.
- Algorithms are step-by-step instructions that solve a specific problem.
- Logic refers to the reasoning and decision-making processes used in algorithms.
What is a Programming Language?
- Programming languages provide a way to communicate with computers.
- They use a set of rules and syntax to instruct computers to perform tasks.
Compiled vs Interpreted Languages
- Compiled languages are translated into machine code before execution.
- Interpreted languages are executed line by line without prior translation.
