Study Notes
- Algorithms consist of structured, systematic steps to solve problems with computers.
- Flowcharts are diagrams depicting the steps and decisions in a program.
- Pseudocode can be interpreted as a description and programming algorithm that is simpler than programming language syntax.
- A text editor and compiler can be separate or combined.
- A combination of a text editor and compiler is called an IDE (e.g., Dev C++, CodeBlocks).
- Identifiers are names used in programming to denote variables, constants, data types, and functions.
- Constants are containers for values, and their values remain fixed throughout the program's execution.
- Variables are specially named locations for storing specific data, which can be changed during the program's execution.
- Input, also known as the "insert operation", involves entering a command of data onto the display; output displays processed data on the screen.
- Expressions use operands and operators; operands are original values, while operators instruct how to process them.
- The IF statement is a conditional statement that allows the manipulation of a program's flow.
- The WHILE statement is a loop statement that repeats commands as long as a conditional expression remains TRUE.
- A "for" loop is a repetitive control structure that lets you efficiently write loops intended for many specific repetitions.
- A function is a code program designed to complete a specific task and is part of the main program.
