TOPIC ONE:
PROGRAMMING CONCEPTS AND APPROACHES
Definition of program and programming
• Computer program is a set of logical instructions that have been coded using a particular
programming language to represent a logical solution to a problem.
• Programming is thus the process of developing a set of computer instructions using a
particular programming language to perform a particular task or solve a specific problem.
• This task of developing a program is done by a programmer.
• Therefore, a programmer is an expert in computing who develops a set of instructions using
a particular programming language to tell a computer what to do and how to do it.
• A programming language is a set of instructions used for writing programs that can be
translated into machine readable form by the computer. Examples of such languages are C,
HTML, etc.
• The program created must specify in detail the logical steps to be taken & the method of
processing the data input into the computer to carry out the specified task.
• Therefore, a computer program performs the following tasks:
i) Accepts data from outside the computer as its input.
ii) Carries out a set of processes on the data within the computer memory.
iii) Presents the results of this processing as its output, and
iv) Stores the data for future use.
Language Translators
- A Translator is a language processor (a computer program) that converts the source code into
object code.
- The two main types of translators are compilers and Interpreters.
- Compiler - This is a special program that scans the entire source code written by a
programmer and converts it into an object code that a computer’s processor uses, all at
once. It gives the programmer the opportunity to code the whole program and then come
back to correct errors.
