INTRODUCTION CONTD.
TYPES OF PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES

Machine Language
It is the only language the computer can
understand.

Assembly Language
is a programming language that can be
Used to directly tell the computer what to
Do. It is like the machine code that the
computer can understand.
6
INTRODUCTION CONTD.
High-level language
Is a programming language that enables a
programmer to write programs that are
more or less independent of a particular of
computer. They are high-level because
they are closer to human language and
further from machine languages.

Low-level language
Is a language close to machine languages,
e.g. assembly language.

INTRODUCTION CONTD.
Basic:
It is a full beginner’s All-purpose
Symbolic Instruction Code. Suitable
for many scientific and
engineering applications
Fortran:
It is a general-purpose, compiled
imperative programming language
that is suitable for numeric
computation and scientific computing,
and also for engineering applications
9
INTRODUCTION CONTD.
Python
Is an interpreted high-level general-
purpose programming language, it can
be used for web development,
operating systems, mobile application
development, etc.
Pascal:
It is a high-level programming
language used for development in the
Apple Lisa. 10
INTRODUCTION CONTD.
Java:
It a general –purpose, high level,
programming language that is designed to
have few implementation dependencies. It
for internet-based applications. It is used to
develop desktop and mobile Applications
and for big data processing
Ruby:
it is an interpreted high-level, general-
purpose programming language , used for
building web applications, data analysis.

INTRODUCTION CONTD.
TYPES OF DATA
 Numerical
Character-type
 Names
Addresses, etc.
HOW COMPUTER WORKS
 Input data: information enter into the computer
Processed data: input data processed to produce
desired results
Output data: The results printed out either on a
sheet or display on a screen (monitor)

BASIC PROGRAMMING
ACRONYM BASIC:
B -Beginner’s
A-All-purpose
S- Symbolic
I- Instruction
C- Code

13
STRUCTURE OF A BASIC PROGRAM
 Every statement must appear on separate line
A statement cannot exceed one line
Each line must begin with a positive integer

(Line number)
Successive statement must have increasing
statement numbers
Each statement number must be followed by a
BASIC keyword ( This tells instruction to be
carried out)
14
NOTE
REM/’ - Remarks, non executable
statement
LET - To assign
END - Indicates logical end of the
program (it stops the program at
that line)
STOP - May be used to terminate
program execution and return to
command level
BLANK SPACE – May be inserted to
improve the readability of a
statement
15
COMMON MATHEMATICAL EXPRESSIONS

Sign Meaning
* - Multiplication (Asterisk)
/ - Division (Slash)
^ - Exponential (Upward-pointing
Arrow)
+ - Addition (plus sign0
- - Subtraction (minus sign)
( ) Bracket (Multiplication)

16
HIERARCHY OF OPERATIONS
Exponentiation
Multiplication and Division
(Multiplication does not necessarily precede division)
Addition and subtraction
( Addition does not necessarily precede division)
 IN CASE OF PARENTHESES
( )
The operations within the innermost pairs of
parentheses is first performed.
