Fundamentals of Coding

Computer programming involves developing instructions for a computer to perform tasks using programming languages that have specific syntax rules and elements like variables, loops, and functions; popular languages include Python, Java, C++, and JavaScript and are used for web development, data science, applications, and more; factors to consider when choosing a language include its uses, your skill level, and requirements for things like response time and compatibility.

What is Computer Programming?

Computer programming is defined as a process of developing and implementing various set of


instructions given to the computer to perform a certain predefined task. Computer Programming is easy
if it is appropriately managed. There are many computer programming languages available so finalizing
the right language is not an easy task.

Basic of programming

English is the most popular and well-known Human Language. The English language has its own set of
grammar rules, which has to be followed to write in the English language correctly.

Likewise, any other Human Languages (German, Spanish, Russian, etc.) are made of several elements
like nouns, adjective, adverbs, propositions, and conjunctions, etc. So, just like English, Spanish or other
human languages, programming languages are also made of different elements.

Just like human languages, programming languages also follow grammar called syntax. There are certain
basic program code elements which are common for all the programming languages.

Most important basic elements for programming languages are:

Programming Environment

Data Types

Variables

Keywords

Logical and Arithmetical Operators

If else conditions

Loops

Numbers, Characters and Arrays

Functions

Input and Output Operations

Applications of computer programming languages

Python Web and Internet Development, Scientific and Numeric applications, Desktop GUIs, Business
applications. It is widely used in AI and Machine Learning space.
Java Mostly used for developing Android apps, web apps, and Big data.

R Data Science projects, Statistical computing, Machine learning

Javascript JavaScript usage include web/mobile app development, game development, and
desktop app development.

Swift Swift is a specially designed language which works with Apple's Cocoa and Cocoa Touch
frameworks to create all types of iOS apps.

C++ C++ is widely used in Game Development, Advance Computations, and Graphics Compilers

C# Widely used in Enterprise Cross-Applications Development, Web Applications

PHP Web Development, Content Management Systems, eCommerce Applications

SQL Used in Any Database

Go Console utilities, GUI applications, and web applications

How to choose a programming language?

Computer programming is a set of written instructions that the computer follows. These instructions can
be written in various languages. Each programming languages have their unique ways of organizing the
commands which are called syntax.

Multiple programming languages can help you solve the same programming problem. However, you
need to select a language that you feel is relevant to perform your task. If you decide that a language
does not suit your business requirement, you can always move on to a new language. Your skill in the
chosen language will also be a deciding factor. Expected software system response time, a number of
simultaneous users, security, maintains, compatibility with web, mobile, devices are few other factors to
consider while choosing a language.
