Note & Tutorial Week 1 - An Overview

This document provides an overview of fundamental programming concepts including: 1) It defines a computer as a machine that can perform sequences of arithmetic or logical operations automatically based on programmed instructions. 2) Computer programming is the process of designing and building executable programs to perform specific computing tasks or achieve specific results. This involves tasks like analyzing problems, designing algorithms, and implementing algorithms in code. 3) Programming languages are used to write computer programs and communicate instructions to the computer. Different languages have different features for structured or object-oriented programming.

What is computer?
• A computer is a machine that can be
programmed to carry out sequences of
arithmetic or logical operations automatically.
Modern computers can perform generic sets of
operations known as programs.
• These programs enable computers to perform a
wide range of tasks. Most of us have used
computers in one way or another. For example,
withdrawing money from the automated teller
machine (ATM) is a form of interaction with
computer
Programming?
• Computer programming is the process of
designing and building an executable
computer program to accomplish a specific
computing result or to perform a specific task.
• Programming involves tasks such as: analysis,
generating algorithms, profiling algorithms'
accuracy and resource consumption, and the
implementation of algorithms in a chosen
programming language (commonly referred to
as coding).
