Introduction to Programming | What is Programming

What is Programming ?

Programming (Computer Programming) is the process of building and designing  an executable computer program to accomplish a specific computing result or to perform a specific task.
Programmer
A computer is a general purpose machines which can perform many computational task and the modern day computers that we have they can perform billions or trillions of calculations within a fraction of second. 

These computer's they can't really do anything on their own. so for a computer to do something one has to give the instructions to it and these instructions will contain step by step information to perform a specific task and these are called as program.

Who is Programmer ?

The person who is going to write these instructions or the program is called as the programmer and here the programmer will write the program and the computer will execute that or computer will work on that instructions.

What is Programming Language?

The language in which the instructions are written or the language in which this program is written is called as the programming language. Now there are several types of programming languages available.
Computers are built to understand the binary language / machine language and since it is difficult to code, assembly languages are invented.
After that middle and higher level languages were invented.

program written in middle / higher language are converted to machine code and executed in either through the compilation method or by using the interpretation method.

languages which use compilation method are called as compiled languages.
for example C, C++ etc.

languages which use interpretation method are called as interpreted languages.
for example python

Name of Some important Programming languages :-
  • Java
  • Python
  • Html
  • CSS
  • JavaScript
  • SQL
  • Ruby
  • C
  • C++
  • C#

What is an NFT? (Non Fungible Token) NFT's explained

Guys, You must have heard the words NFT or Blockchain recently. That is, Jack Dorsey is selling his first tweet, a lot of people are selling digital art paintings. These are being sold through NFTs. Here, I'm talking about the NFT, not NEFT that is used in banking transactions. Because NFT has emerged as an important word in the realm of technology.  It is quite unique but still not many people know about this. So, let's dive deep into the NFT or the Non Fungible Tokens. And if you enjoy reading this article then do share it with others. You might feel odd to talk about NFT, but if you look at Blockchain implementation of which was Cryptocurrency or Bitcoin, just like that NFT is it's second implementation. And the profit of this implementation is you can sell unique, expensive, valuable, rare and one of a kind things.  What's the meaning of one of a kind? Its pretty simple, there's only one piece of a certain thing existing in the world. It means, the value of a ...

Unraveling the Mysteries of Quantum Computers: A Glimpse into the Future of Computing

In the realm of computer science, the concept of quantum computing stands as a beacon of unprecedented potential. Unlike classical computers that rely on bits to process information in binary form (0s and 1s), quantum computers harness the mind-bending principles of  quantum mechanics to manipulate quantum bits or qubits. This revolutionary approach holds the promise of solving complex problems at speeds that traditional computers could only dream of. Let's delve deeper into the enigmatic world of quantum computing. Understanding Quantum Computer: At the heart of quantum computing lies the qubit, the fundamental unit of quantum information. Qubits possess the unique ability to exist in multiple states simultaneously, thanks to a phenomenon called superposition. This allows quantum computers to perform parallel computations on a scale unimaginable with classical computers. Furthermore, quantum computers leverage another principle of quantum mechanics known as entanglement. Entangle...
