    Study Notes

    Programming Fundamentals

    • A developer analyzes problems and creates solutions through programming.
    • A program is an organized set of instructions.
    • Code is a sequence of instructions a computer can follow.
    • Input is any data provided to a program.
    • Output is the data generated by the program.
    • An object is a combination of related variables and functions.
    • A statement is a single line of code.
    • A script is a set of steps or instructions.
    • An IDE (Integrated Development Environment) provides tools to build applications.
    • Syntax is similar to human language, and computer programming languages have their own rules.
    • Errors are broken pieces in the code.
      • Completion Errors: indicate an incomplete piece of code.
      • Syntax Errors: code that doesn't follow the rules of the programming language.
      • Runtime/Exception Errors: errors that occur during program execution.

    Programming Languages

    • Machine Language: Uses binary code (0s and 1s).
    • Assembly Language: Human-readable code that an assembler translates into machine code.
    • Procedural Language: Code is interpreted, does not need to be compiled.
    • Scripting Language: Code is read and executed by an interpreter.
    • Functional Language: Programs are built by combining functions.
    • Logic-Based Language: Software designed as objects, focusing on rules and logic.
    • Object-Oriented Language: Uses objects with associated data and methods.

    Programming Languages Examples

    • JavaScript: Multipurpose language for front-end and back-end web development. Designed for interactive web pages. Source code example: console.log().
    • Java: General-purpose, object-oriented language, used for simplifying design and maintenance. Source code example: System.out.println().
    • Python: Versatile, easy to learn. Widely used in Data Science, web development, machine learning, and software testing. Source code example: print().
    • C++: Popular, fast language frequently used in databases. Known for its speed and agility. Source code example: printf().
    • C: Older, powerful language used in various industries. Source code example: std::cout().
