Top Programming Language Terms, Words and Definition You must know

API

The API stands for Application Programming Interface. API defines as your products or services communicate with other products or services without having information on how they implemented and provide required data for a particular request.

Argument

Argument other words Parameter. A value that passed into a program or function. Any value is generally the source of the function and it requires the argument during the process of execution.

Array

Array defines a group of same data type which store data value in grouped. All values in store Array are same data type and only different by the position.

Like : var classA = [12,23,42,34,45];

 

Algorithms

The algorithm is a systematic logical approach which is a good structure, well defined instructions that allow solving computer problem.

Example of Algorithms

Step 1: Start
Step 2: Declare variables num1, num2 and sum. 
Step 3: Read values num1 and num2. 
Step 4: Add num1 and num2 and assign the result to sum.
        sum←num1+num2 
Step 5: Display sum 
Step 6: Stop

Bug

A bug is an error when running a computer program that causes it to produce an incorrect result and it’s not working condition. It stops the program and does not gives the required results.

Boolean

Boolean is a data type with two values true or false. If the required condition is executed then gives true else gives false.

Comment

Comment use for makes source code or programming code to easier to understand programmer or human and its generally ignored by compilers and interpreters.

Compiler

The compiler is a computer program that translates computer codes written in a specified language into another language. A compiler is primarily used for programs that translate high-level programming language source code to lower-level language.

Data Types

All define variable use data types. It is an attribute of data that tells the compiler how the programmer intends to use the data.

Data types in programming Language

  • Integer
  • Floating point
  • Char
  • String Boolean

Exception

At any program runtime, any error occurs in a method or function, the method or function creates an object, and it’s off to the runtime system. It’s call exception. This contains the runtime error information, error type and each thinks about the error.

Function

Function used in every programming language to create blocks of code that when call for doing the specified task.

Loop

Loop is a structure that repeats the block of code until the condition is true if the condition is false the loop stops the repeat of the code block. There are three types of loops

  1. for loop
  2. while loop
  3. do… while

Keywords

In a Programming language, a keyword a reserved word that cannot be used as an identifier. For example variable, function label they all are reserved for programming language.

Null

Null can define as value or pointer. Null define constant that having value zero. It can also be the value of the pointer, which the same as zero unless the CPU support pattern for a null pointer.

Operator

In computer programming language Operator is symbol tells the compiler or interperter to perform mathematical, logical, relational operation and produce the final output.

Variable

Variable is used for storing information for manipulated code or program. It provides the label to data with a defined name, so the rest of the code or program can understand easily.  The purpose of using variable is to label and store data in memory which we can use in the below code.
