Introduction to Programming
What is programming?
 Programming is a way through which you can tell
your computer to do something.
 It is a set of instruction which performs a specific
task.
 In human body brain is the part which absorb the
information, process it and generate an accurate
response.
 Likewise, if your boss has asked you to do something
your brain takes the input and tell your body to move
and perform the task.
Programming
 Similarly, in computers brain is processor.
 When ever we want our computer to do something,
we have to talk to it in a way which would be easily
understandable to computer.
 So, we can say that talking to computer, making it
understand what you are saying and asking it to do
something for you is Programming
Language.
 To talk to people, we use specific language.
 A French wont be able to understand urdu/Hindi.
 To ask a French to do something, we would have to
talk to him in French.
 Likewise, in computer we have to program our task
in a way which would be understandable to
computer.
Language
 They are two types of languages.
 High Level languages -> easy way to program
 Low level languages-> 0s and 1s
 Example of low level language is Assembly languages
High Level Languages
 As computer understands 0s and 1s only,
 To make it easier for human to program, people have
created High level languages.
 Easy to work with. Computer converts the text and
program in 0s and 1s through interpreters and
compiles.
 Example-> Java, C, C++,C# etc
