Study Notes
Introduction to Programming
- IDE (Integrated Development Environment): The process of editing, preprocessing, compiling, linking, and running a program involves use of an IDE.
- Tokens: Keywords, identifiers, literals, operators, punctuation marks form tokens in a program.
- Hello World program: A basic program that prints the message "Hello, World!"
- Statements, expressions, values, and types: Fundamental concepts in programming.
- Variables, operators, assignment operator, precedence: Concepts to store data, perform operations, and set values within a program. This includes the order of operations for calculations.
Data Types
- Strings: Used to represent text.
- Control structures (if/else statements): Used to control the flow of a program based on conditions. includes nesting of 'if' statements.
- Relational and logical operators: Operators for comparing values and making logical decisions (e.g., <, >, ==, &&, ||).
- Variable scoping: Determining the availability of variables within different parts of a program.
- Input/Output (I/O) and error messages: Methods for interacting with the user and understanding errors.
- Debugging: Identifying and fixing errors in code.
Loops and Iteration
- While loops: Repeatedly execute code as long as a condition is met.
- Counting using while loops: Methods for counting within a 'while' loop.
- For loops: Execute code a specific number of times.
- Converting for loops to while loops (vice versa): Changing the format of loops.
- Unrolling loops: Explaining/analyzing the code by deconstructing loops.
- Nesting loops: Placing one loop inside another.
Functions
- Functions: Modular blocks of code performing specific tasks.
- More types of functions: different tasks
- Return values: Values returned by functions.
- Void functions: Functions that do not return a value.
- Recursion: A function calling itself.
Arrays and Pointers
- Arrays: Ordered collections of elements.
- Pass by value, pass by reference, pass by address: Methods of passing data to functions.
- Pointers: Variables storing memory addresses.
Structures
- Structures (if time permits): User-defined data types.
