Introduction to programming

What is the only thing that computers understand?

• Machine Code

• Low Level Language

• High Level Language

• Algorithm

Java, Python, PHP, and C++ are examples of

• low level languages

• Graphic arts languages

• medium level languages

• high level languages

An advantage of programming in High Level is

• Easier for us to understand
• Useful for device drivers
• Programs execute faster than other generations

• Internal Deep Escape

• IDE

It starts with a /* and continues until a */  What does this do?

• Loads a sketch
• Makes comments
• Compiles quicker
• Makes stars appear

Translates source code from high level languages into object code and then into machine code

• Assembler

• Compiler

• Interpreter
