Fundamental Programming Terminologies (C, Java, Python)

This guide compares 18 core programming concepts across C, Java, and Python.

1. Program

- C: Uses main() function as entry point.

- Java: Uses public static void main().

- Python: Directly runs from top.

2. Statement

- A single instruction: int x = 5; or print("Hello")

3. Syntax

- C/Java: Use semicolons, braces, types

- Python: Uses indentation and colons

4. Indentation

- Required in Python, optional in C/Java

5. Variables

- C/Java: int x = 5;

- Python: x = 5

6. Keywords

- Reserved words like int, class, def, etc.


7. Comments

- C/Java: // or /* */

- Python: #

8. Function / Method

- Python: def add(a, b):

- C: int add(int a, int b)

- Java: static int add(int a, int b)

9. Arguments / Parameters

- Function inputs (typed in C/Java, untyped in Python)

10. Return

- return value from function

11. Print Statement

- C: printf()

- Java: System.out.println()

- Python: print()

12. Data Types

- C: int, float

- Java: int, double

- Python: inferred types

13. Input Statement

- C: scanf()
- Java: Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);

- Python: input()

14. Boolean

- C: 0, 1

- Java: true, false

- Python: True, False

15. Comparison Operators

- ==, !=, >, < in all languages

16. Logical Operators

- C/Java: &&, ||, !

- Python: and, or, not

17. Conditionals

- C: if (x > 5) { ... }

- Python: if x > 5:

18. Code Block

- C/Java: use {}

- Python: use indentation
