1.0 PROGRAMMING CONCEPT

1.1 CONCEPT OF PROGRAMMING

1.1.1 Terms

a. Program
Computer programs (also software programs) are instructions for a
computer
A computer requires programs to function, typically executing the program's
instructions in a central processor.
Computer programs may be categorized along functional lines: system
software and application software.
many computer programs may run simultaneously on a single computer, a
process known as multitasking
Computer programs are found either in executable form or as the source
code from which executable programs are derived
Example : Source code of a program
(C programming language)

#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
puts("Hello world!");
return 0;
}

b. Programmer
someone who writes computer software.
write, test, debug, and maintain programs, that computers must follow to
perform their functions.
conceive, design, and test logical structures for solving problems by
computer.
write programs according to the specifications determined primarily by more
senior programmers and by systems analysts.
Computer source code is often written by professional computer
programmers
referred to by the language they know, e.g. as Java programmers, or by the
type of function they perform or environment in which they work: for
example, database programmers, mainframe programmers, or Web
developers.
Ada Lovelace is popularly credited as history's first programmer.
International Programmers' Day is celebrated annually on January 7

c. Programming language
a machine-readable artificial language designed to express computations
that can be performed by a machine, particularly a computer.
can be used to create programs that specify the behavior of a machine, to
express algorithms precisely, or as a mode of human communication.
Many programming languages have some form of written specification of
their syntax and semantics, since computers require precisely defined
instructions



P302 Introduction to Programming
2/2
Source code is written in a programming language that usually follows one
of two main paradigms: imperative(describes computation in terms of
statements that change a program state) or declarative (expresses the logic
of a computation without describing its control flow) programming.
