Basic Programming of Concept Flashcards
A set of
instructions, that helps the developer to
perform certain tasks that return the desired
output for the valid inputs.
Computer Programming
It uses binary digits 0 and 1.
It is the natural language of a computer thus, they
are machine dependent.
Machine Language
It uses mnemonics or
symbols to represent instructions and data. They
used assemblers to convert the source code to
machine language then loaded run by a loader.
Assembly Language
They use English-like
statements and it uses compilers or interpreters
to translate the source code to machine language.
High-level Language
The process of eliminating
mistakes in your program.
Debugging
A grammatical mistakes in your
program.
Syntax Error
Detected when the program is
run.
Run-time Error
The output of your program is
wrong.
Logic Error
It is a set of steps or instruction
statements to be followed to accomplish
specific tasks. A developer can design his
algorithm to achieve the desired output.
Algorithm
Is the actual text that is used to
construct the program using the language of choice.
Source code
Is a software program
that helps in converting the source code into
binary code or byte code, also called machine
language, that is easy for a computer to
understand, and can be further executed
using an interpreter to run the program.
Compiler
Data used in the applications can
be of a different type, it can be a whole number
(integer), floating-point (decimal point
numbers), characters or objects.
Data Type
Is a space holder for the
value stored in the memory and this value can
be used in the application.
Variable
Knowledge of how to use a
certain condition, such that a set of code should
execute only if a certain condition is true. In case
of a false condition, the program should exit and
should not continue the code further.
Conditionals
Is the variable that stores
elements of a similar data type. Knowledge of
using an array in coding/programming will be
a great benefit.
