    Study Notes

    Python Definitions

    • Compiler: A program that translates source code into machine language (binary 1's and 0's).
    • Interpreter: Converts and executes source code line by line, highlighting errors as it goes without saving the entire code.
    • IDE (Integrated Development Environment): Software used to create computer programs.
    • Binary: 1's and 0's representing characters in a computer.
    • Machine Language: Binary strings of 1's and 0's understood by a computer.
    • Computer Program: A set of instructions for a computer to perform tasks.

    Examples of Computer Programs

    • Document editors (e.g., Word, Docs)
    • Photo/video editors (e.g., Adobe Photoshop)
    • Video calling/messaging apps (e.g., WhatsApp)
    • Social media apps (e.g., Instagram)
    • Video games

    Computer Circuit States

    • Computer circuits are in one of two states.
    • ON: When a signal is present.
    • OFF: When there is no signal present.
