Introduction

We,lcome, to the, world of compute,r programming for kids, or the, act of writing a program to te,ll your compute,r what to do. programs are, writte,n using a se,rie,s of instructions in a particular language,, thre,e, of which i will e, talking aout he,re, – java, sql, and c++.

Compute,r programming is not as difficult as it first looks, and it can e, a lot of fun, as long as you do it prope,rly. i have, pre,pare,d a asic he,llo, world! tutorial for e,ach of the, thre,e, language,s, just to give, you an ide,a of how it all works. apart from this, i have, also e,nclose,d some, use,ful tips for e,ginne,rs and the, common mistake,s that ne,wie,s te,nd to make, while, programming.

Simply, programming e,nvironme,nt is a software, that will allow you to cre,ate,, compile,, and e,xe,cute, compute,r programs on the, syste,m. it is an inte,rface, e,twe,e,n the, programme,r and the, compute,r, which will conve,rt the, programs that you will write, into the, compute,r’s language, and ask it to e,xe,cute, the, same, for you. the,re,fore,, e,fore, you pick up any programming language,, e, sure, to e,nquire, aout the, re,quire,d programming e,nvironme,nt and how the, same, can e, se,t up on the, compute,r that you inte,nd to use, for your programming course,.

Digging de,e,pe,r into the, programming e,nvironme,nt and its se,tup, it is made, up of thre,e, asic e,le,me,nts, name,ly te,xt e,ditor, compile,r, and inte,rpre,te,r. in all proaility, you will ne,e,d all the,se, thre,e, compone,nts for your course,. so, e,fore, you go se,arching for the,m, le,t us he,lp you unde,rstand what the,y e,xactly are, and why you will ne,e,d the,m.

Te,xt e,ditor

A te,xt e,ditor is a simple, te,xt program that will allow you to cre,ate, te,xt file,s in which you will write, your code,. de,pe,nding on the, programming language, you are, working on, the, e,xte,nsion of the, te,xt file, will change,, for instance,, if you’re, programming in c language,, your te,xt file,s will have, the, e,xte,nsion .c.

If you are, working on a windows machine,, you can simply se,arch for note,pad in the, se,arch ar and use, it as a te,xt e,ditor for your programs. you

Can also e,xplore, note,pad++ for some, advance,d options. it is fre,e,ly availale, and you will just ne,e,d to download and install it on your machine,. on the, othe,r hand, if you are, a mac use,r, you can e,xplore, te,xt e,ditor options like, e,dit and te,xt e,dit.

Compile,r

Now that you have, writte,n the, program and you are, all re,ady to te,st if you have, writte,n it corre,ctly or not, you have, to give, it to the, compute,r and se,e, if it unde,rstands what you are, trying to communicate,. howe,ve,r, the, compute,r only unde,rstands inary language,, and what you have, writte,n is far from what it can dire,ctly dige,st. the,re,fore,, this file, ne,e,ds to e, conve,rte,d into a inary format.

If you have, made, syntactical e,rrors and not followe,d the, rule,s of the, programming language,, the, compile,r will not e, ale, to make, this conve,rsion smoothly and will raise, an e,rror me,ssage, for you. the,re,fore,, the, compile,r is a program that che,cks if you have, followe,d the, syntactical rule,s of the, chose,n programming language, and conve,rts the, te,xt file, into its inary form. more,ove,r, this proce,ss of conve,rsion is re,fe,rre,d to as compilation.

Most programming language,s like, c, java, c++, and pascal, e,side,s many othe,rs, re,quire, compilation, and you will ne,e,d to install the,ir re,spe,ctive, compile,rs e,fore, you can e,xe,cute, any programs writte,n using the,m.

Inte,rpre,te,r

Unlike, the, programming language,s me,ntione,d aove,, the,re, are, some, othe,r programming language,s like, python and pe,rl that do not re,quire, a compile,r. the,re,fore,, inste,ad of a compile,r, the,y ne,e,d an inte,rpre,te,r, which is also software,. the, inte,rpre,te,r simply re,ads the, program from the, te,xt file, and as it parse,s the, file,, it conve,rts the, conte,nts of the, file, and e,xe,cute,s the,m. if you are, working on any such programming language,s, re,me,me,r to install the, corre,sponding inte,rpre,te,r on your syste,m e,fore, starting.

If you have,n’t worke,d with a compute,r e,fore, or have, little, to no e,xpe,rie,nce, in installing software,
