PROGRAMMING

TERMINOLOGY
AND ALGORITHM

GRADE 11 MEET 4
INTRODUCTIONS
Programming terminology refers to
the specialized vocabulary and
concepts used in the world of
computer programming.
Understanding these terms is
essential for anyone learning or
working in the field of programming.
KINDS OF DATA TYPE

String
Integer
Float
Boolean
STRING

A sequence of characters. In
many programming languages,
strings are used to represent text. EXAMPLE
print ("MULTIMEDIA ROOM !")

Output: MULTIMEDIA ROOM !


INTEGER
An integer is a data type used to
represent whole numbers
without any fractional or decimal
EXAMPLE
part. It can be a positive number,
print (12345)
a negative number, or zero
Output: 12345
FLOAT
A float is a data type used to
represent numbers with a fractional
part. It is used for representing real
numbers, including numbers with EXAMPLE
decimal points. It can be a positive
print (0.2)
number and negative number
Output: 0.2
BOOLEAN
A data type that can hold one of two
values: true or false. Used for logical
operations and decision-making.
EXAMPLE
2 == 3 4 == 4
OR
Output: False Output: True
VARIABLE
A named storage location in a computer's
memory that holds a value. Variables can
store various data types, such as
numbers, text, or boolean values, and
their values can change during the
program's execution.
ARRAY
A data structure that stores a collection of
elements, all of the same data type, in a
contiguous block of memory.
CONDITIONAL STATEMENT:
A construct that enables the program to
make decisions based on specified
conditions, using if, else, and else if.
LOOP:
A programming construct that allows a
set of instructions to be executed
repeatedly until a certain condition is
met.
ALGORITHM:
A step-by-step procedure or set of
instructions for solving a specific problem
or performing a task.
Algorithms are fundamental to
programming and are used to design
efficient and effective solutions.
