Definitions




Computer:
    The computer is an electronic device that takes data and instructions as input from the user, processes the data, and generates useful information as an output.


Data:
    Data is a collection of raw facts and statistics, then operations or manipulations are performed on these facts or statistics for reference or analysis.


Input Devices:
    Input devices accept the data from the end-users on which the operations are to be performed.


Output Devices:
    Output devices are used for providing the output of a program that is obtained after programming the operations specified in a program.


Information:
    Information can be defined as the processed form of data.


Compiler:
    The compiler is a computer program that translates the source code written in a high-level language into the corresponding object-code of the low-level language.


Interpreter:
    The interpreter is a translation program that converts each high-level program statement into the corresponding machine code.

Assembler:
    An assembler is a computer program that translates assembly language statements into machine language codes.


Software:
    A set of instructions in a logical order to perform a meaningful task is called a program and a set of programs is called software.


Algorithm:
    An algorithm is a finite sequence of well-defined steps for solving a problem.
or
    An algorithm is a complete, detailed, and precise step-by-step method for solving a problem independently.


Flowchart:
    A flowchart is a pictorial or graphical representation of a program or an algorithm.
or
    A flowchart is a pictorial representation of an algorithm depicting the flow of various steps.


Array:
    An array is a fixed size sequential collection of elements of same data types grouped under single variable name.


String:
    A string is a one-dimensional array of characters terminated by a null ('\0').

Structure:
    Structure is a collection of logically related data items of different datatypes grouped together under single name.

Function:
    Function can be defined as a group of statements that performs a specific task.

Recursion:
    Any function which calls itself is called recursive function and such function calls are called recursive calls. Hence, the process of function calling itself is called recursion.

Pointer:
    Pointer is a variable which stores the address / reference of another variable.

Differentiate entry control and exit control loop.

  Difference between Entry control loop and Exit control loop: Basic Of Comparision Entry Controlled Loop Exit Controlled Loop Description Entry controlled loop is a loop in which the test condition is checked first, and then the loop body will be executed. Exit controlled loop is a loop in which the loop body is executed first and then the given condition is checked afterward. False Test Condition If the test condition is false, the loop body will not be executed. If the test condition is false, the loop body will be executed at least once. Example Examples of entry-controlled loops include, for loop and while loop. An example of an exit controlled loop is do…while Loop. Use Entry controlled loops are used when checking of test condition is mandatory before executing the loop body. Entry controlled loop is used when checking of test condition is mandatory after executing. Drafted on 🌏 by, Jal ☮ peace
