COMPUTER CODING NOTES

1. Introduction to Coding
- Coding is the process of giving instructions to a computer so it can perform tasks.

- Why We Code:

- - To build software (apps, games, websites).

- - To automate tasks.

- - To solve problems.

- Common Programming Languages:

- - Python – easy, popular for AI, automation.

- - Java – used in Android apps and enterprise systems.

- - C – foundation language.

- - C++ – performance-heavy apps.

- - JavaScript – web development.

- - HTML/CSS – structure and design (not programming but essential).

2. Basic Concepts in Programming


- Syntax – Rules of writing code correctly.

- Variables – Used to store data.

- Data Types – String, Integer, Float, Boolean, List.

- Operators – Arithmetic, Comparison, Logical.

3. Control Structures
- If–Else Statements – Used for decision-making.

- Loops – For Loop and While Loop.

4. Functions
- Reusable blocks of code.

- Functions can take parameters and return values.


5. Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)
- Class – Blueprint for objects.

- Object – Instance of a class.

- Attributes – Variables in a class.

- Methods – Functions in a class.

- Inheritance, Encapsulation, Polymorphism.

6. Introduction to Algorithms
- Algorithms are step-by-step procedures for solving problems.

- Examples: Sorting, Searching.

7. Data Structures
- Arrays/Lists – Store multiple items.

- Stacks – LIFO.

- Queues – FIFO.

- Dictionaries/Hash Maps – Key–value storage.

- Trees & Graphs – Used in networks and complex systems.

8. File Handling
- Reading and writing files in code.

9. Web Development Basics


- Frontend – HTML, CSS, JavaScript.

- Backend – Python, PHP, Node.js.

- Databases – MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB.

10. Version Control (Git)


- Git is used to track changes in code.

11. Debugging
- Finding and fixing errors in code.

- Types: Syntax, Runtime, Logical errors.

12. Best Practices


- Write clean readable code.
- Comment your code.

- Use meaningful variable names.

- Keep functions short.

- Regularly test programs.
