Introduction to Computer Programming
Computer Programming is a technical skill to design and implement set of instructions, for a machine, to perform the specific task. Computer Programming can be learned easily because its nature is joyful and interesting to learn and provides you a proper approach or road-map to follow.
This article is for those students or someone new to the Information Technology (I.T) or Internet of Things (I.O.T).
This piece of writing would provide the answers to the most common questions rising on the mind of one new to the field of Computer Programming Development.
Introduction to Computer Programming
Why Computer Programming is important?
Are computers self-learner? Is there no need to instruct it? Obviously not, Computers are dumb machines until and unless they are properly instructed to perform any specific task or so.
Computers, highly elegant machines, help humans in almost all fields of life when properly programmed or instructed. Computers are used in the most important tasks of human societies i.e., Data Managements, Technological Developments, Global Communication, Life Luxuries, Health Care, Space Explorations, Advanced Computations and ArtificialIntelligence.
How can one become a computer programmer?
Learning Computer Programming is similar to the process of Learning any Human Language. As Human Communication uses some gestures with oral expressions or written words to be more expressive, Computer Programming Languages needs some syntax and technical skills similar to the basic arithmetic or other basic concepts of mathematics.
Syntax differs with the language you are using, but the pseudo code or concepts remain same to achieve the required tasks to get done by the program. The syntax of some languages can be easier or hard compared to the others.
To start programming, it is often suggested and do not save me, it is would be better to start with C/C++ language with feature essential for learning i.e., case sensitiveness, differences between datatypes and many others, instead of with lose typed languages or more human understandable syntax JavaScript etc.
Levels of Programming Languages:
A Programming Language can be:
1. Low Level Language:
i. Machine Language:
Machine Language is very difficult to understand by any Human as it uses only 0s and 1s to give instructions to computer. This type of Computer Programming Language is very quickly understood by machine/microprocessor, therefore it faster.
e.g. Instruction-1: 0101 0110 0100 0101 0110 0010
