Introduction to Computer Program

Before getting into computer programming, let us first understand computer programs and what they do.
A computer program is a sequence of instructions written using a Computer Programming Language to perform a specified task by the computer.
The two important terms that we have used in the above definition are −
  • Sequence of instructions
  • Computer Programming Language
To understand these terms, consider a situation when someone asks you about how to go to a nearby KFC. What exactly do you do to tell him the way to go to KFC?
You will use Human Language to tell the way to go to KFC, something as follows −
First go straight, after half kilometer, take left from the red light and then drive around one kilometer and you will find KFC at the right.
Here, you have used English Language to give several steps to be taken to reach KFC. If they are followed in the following sequence, then you will reach KFC −
1. Go straight
2. Drive half kilometer
3. Take left
4. Drive around one kilometer
5. Search for KFC at your right side
Now, try to map the situation with a computer program. The above sequence of instructions is actually a Human Programwritten in English Language, which instructs on how to reach KFC from a given starting point. This same sequence could have been given in Spanish, Hindi, Arabic, or any other human language, provided the person seeking direction knows any of these languages.
Now, let's go back and try to understand a computer program, which is a sequence of instructions written in a Computer Language to perform a specified task by the computer. Following is a simple program written in Python programming Language −
print "Hello, World!"
The above computer program instructs the computer to print "Hello, World!" on the computer screen.
  • A computer program is also called a computer software, which can range from two lines to millions of lines of instructions.
  • Computer program instructions are also called program source code and computer programming is also called program coding.
  • A computer without a computer program is just a dump box; it is programs that make computers active.
As we have developed so many languages to communicate among ourselves, computer scientists have developed several computer-programming languages to provide instructions to the computer (i.e., to write computer programs). We will see several computer programming languages in the subsequent chapters.

INTRODUCTION OF DBMS

-
What is Database :- The database is a collection of inter-related data which is used to retrieve, insert and delete the data efficiently. It is also used to organize the data in the form of a table, schema, views, and reports, etc. For example: The college Database organizes the data about the admin, staff, students and faculty etc. Using the database, you can easily retrieve, insert, and delete the information. DBMS (Database Management System):- Database management system is a software which is used to manage the database. For example: MySQL, Oracle, etc are a very popular commercial database which is used in different applications.DBMS provides an interface to perform various operations like database creation, storing data in it, updating data, creating a table in the database and a lot more.It provides protection and security to the database. In the case of multiple users, it also maintains data consistency. DBMS allows users the following tasks:- Data Definition: I

INTRODUCTION Digital computer concept:- 1. Digital computers are designed to store, process and communicate information in digital form. 2. Digital computer is any of a class of digital devices capable of solving problems by processing information in discrete form. 3. It is used for processing data represented by discrete, localized physica signals, as the presence or electic current. 4.The main three components of digital computer:- >input:- The user gives a set of input data through input devices. >Processing :- The input data is processed with the help of CPU by well defined and finite sequence of step. >Output : - Some data available from the processing step are output to the user. TYPE OF DIGITAL COMPUTER :- 1.Microcomputer/Desktop computer 2.Minicomputer 3.Mainframe computer 4.Supercomputers Microcomputer :- 1.Microcomputer is also called a personal computer or desktop computer. 2.It includes a microprocessor, memory, and

There are 195 countries in the  world, some are developed countries, some are undeveloped , and some are underdeveloped or developing countries . The distinction between them is a different process but we can differentiate based on conditions like economic growth , GDP, employment rate , population, etc. Let's understand how we can say whether the country is developed. ADVANCE OR DEVELOPED ECONOMIES An advanced or developed economy is one, which carries on production with a large amount of machinery and advanced techniques. An advanced economy employs its human and other resources to the maximum extent possible.  The productive efficiency of a developed economy is of a very high order, and the per capita income is also high. Consequently, people in these countries enjoy high standards of living.  England, the U.S.A, France, west Germany, etc, are advanced economies. These economies are inhabited by over one-fourth of the entire population of the world. ADVANCED ECONOMY Advanced Ec
