This note is meant for those who are interested in computer science and programming but have no idea
where to start and have little to no background information on coding. We 'll be working our way up as
we talk about common features of computer science such as loops and arrays. There will be no software
required for you to download in order to follow along with this tutorial. We are feeding information on
how to complete a program like a game or a web application.Programming is n't as simple as giving your
friend instructions. The computer only understands machine code, which is a numerical language known
as binary. Every instruction fed to the computer is converted into a string of ones and zeros and then
interpreted by the computer to carry out tasks. There are many different programming languages out
there that each have their own unique uses.We measure a programming languages power by how
similar it is to machine code. The lower the level of your programming language, the more your code will
resemble what the machine can interpret as instructions. This makes programming languages extremely
useful and the backbone of any good program.
IDs nowadays act as sort of a fast track to writing code and make things a whole lot easier for
programmers. IDs are extremely powerful and will be used in almost 100 % of your programming
projects. Each programming language has its own syntax or rules that you must follow to a tee if you
want your program to run correctly. All these languages require that you follow this syntax because
computers are extremely dumb. If you forget one semi colon or misplace a character, the entire
program will not run and send you back a syntax error. Even in this simple example, you can see how
much a syntax matters when learning a new language. It 's recommended that you learn the rules and
syntax of a language before writing complex programs.The console is a text interface within your
computer that us programmers can use for a variety of different purposes. The main use of the console
is to output text from the program. This is usually done by using a print statement. A print statement is a
command that does exactly what it sounds like. It prints text to the console.
The console is not really meant to be viewed by the end user of your program. It tends to be hidden
away behind the scenes and other methods of displaying information are used to convey information to
the user instead. Remember to use the console to its fullest extent when writing and fixing problems in
your programs.Most programming languages include an additional operator known as modulus.
Modulus allows us to get the remainder of a divisional operation. This can be extremely useful in
determining whether or not a certain integer is even or odd. We 'll cover more about strings in a bit
when we talk about variables. We of course begin with a print statement , which again will be different
across all languages. Inside the print statement, we start off by printing the string game over. From
there, we use a plus sign and add four to the statement. Then we repeat this process with another plus
sign for the final string was your final score. And we 're able to print out the entirety of our statement
easily.
