WHAT IS PROGRAMMING ?
• Programming is giving a set of instructions to a computer to execute.
• Most used programming languages:
• Python
• JavaScript
• PHP
• SQL etc.

LEVELS OF PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE
• Programming languages can be categorized into levels based on their
level of abstraction and proximity to machine code:
• Low level language
• Assembly level language
• High level language

LOW LEVEL LANGUAGE
• Low level languages are closest to the hardware and provide a direct
representation of machine code instructions. They are often specific
to a particular computer architecture and are difficult to read and
write.

ASSEMBLY LEVEL LANGUAGE
• Assembly language is a low-level programming language that uses
mnemonics ( ) یادداشتto represent machine instructions.
• It is more readable and easier to understand than Low level language.

HIGH LEVEL LANGUAGE
• High-level languages are programming languages that are designed to
allow humans to write computer programs and interact with a
computer system without having to have specific knowledge of the
processor or hardware that the program will run on.
• Examples:
• C/C++, JavaScript, Python, Java etc.

TRANSLATOR
• A translator is a computer program that translates a program written
in a given programming language
• Code written in any high-level programming language is called
“source code”. When you change the source code into machine code,
it is called “object code”. A translator turns the source code into
object code, which the computer can understand and run.
• Types of translators:
• Assembler
• Interpreter
• Compiler

ASSEMBLER
• Assemblers translate a program written in assembly language into
machine language.
• Assembly language is a low-level programming language.

INTERPRETER
• The interpreter checks the source code line-by-line and if an error is
found on any line, it stops the execution until the error is resolved,
and then translate the line into a machine language.
• Some examples of programming languages that use interpreters are
Python, Ruby, Perl, PHP, and MATLAB.

COMPILER
• A compiler is a program that translates source code written in a high-
level programming language into machine code that can be executed
by a computer's processor.
• Unlike interpreters, which execute code line by line, compilers
translate the entire source code into an executable form before it is
run.
• Some examples of programming languages that use compiler are
C/C++, Java and Go.

ALGORITHM
• An algorithm is a set of steps for accomplishing a task or solving a
problem.
• Typically, algorithms are executed by computers, but we also rely on
algorithms in our daily lives. Each time we follow a particular step-by-
step process, like making coffee in the morning.

ALGORITHM: CALCULATE THE SQUARE OF A
NUMBER
1.Start.
2.Input the number (N) whose square you want to find.
3.Multiply the number (N) by itself.
4.Store the result of the multiplication in a variable (result).
5.Output the value of the variable (result), which represents the square
of the input number.
6.End.

INTRODUCTION TO PYTHON
PROGRAMMING
• Python is a high-level, interpreted programming language known for
its simplicity and readability.
• It was created by Guido van Rossum and first released in 1991 in the
Netherlands.
• Python is widely used across various domains, including:
• Web development, Data analysis, Artificial intelligence, Scientific
computing, Automation, and more.

• Here are some key benefits of using Python:
• Easy to Read, Learn and Write
• Free and Open-Source
• Vast Libraries Support
• Portability and many more.
