Study Notes

Programming Language Concept

A programming language is a formal language that enables humans to communicate with computers and instruct them to perform specific tasks.
A program is a set of logically related instructions that carry out specific tasks on the computer.

Algorithm

An algorithm is a set of well-defined steps or instructions that are followed to perform a specific task or solve a particular problem.
Algorithms can be represented in various ways, such as flowcharts, pseudocode, or actual code.

Pseudocode

Pseudocode is a high-level description of a computer program or algorithm that uses natural language rather than a specific programming language syntax.

Flowchart

A flowchart is a diagrammatic representation of an algorithm, process or system.
It uses a set of symbols and shapes to illustrate the flow of information or actions through the system or process.
