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.
