TOP PROGRAMMING TERMS AND DIFINITIONS

1.Algorithm
An algorithm is a set of instructions or rules designed to solve a definite
problem. The problem can be simple like adding two numbers or a complex one, such
as converting a video file from one format to another.

2. Program
A computer program is termed as an organized collection of instructions, which when
executed perform a specific task or function. A program is processed by the central
processing unit (CPU) of the computer before it is executed. An example of a
program is Microsoft Word, which is a word processing application that enables
users to create and edit documents. The browsers that we use are also programs
created to help us browse the internet.

3. API
Application Programming Interface (API) is a set of rules, routines, and protocols
to build software applications. APIs help in communication with third party
programs or services, which can be used to build different software. Companies such
as Facebook and Twitter actively use APIs to help developers gain easier access to
their services.

4. Argument
Argument or arg is a value that is passed into a command or a function. For
example, if SQR is a routine or function that returns the square of a number, then
SQR(4) will return 16. Here, the value 4 is the argument. Similarly, if the edit is
a function that edits a file, then in edit myfile.txt, ‘myfile.txt’ is the
argument.

5. ASCII
American Standard Code for Information Interexchange (ASCII) is a standard that
assigns letters, numbers and other characters different slots, available in the 8-
bit code. The total number of slots available is 256. The ASCII decimal number is
derived from binary, which is assigned to each letter, number, and character. For
example, the ‘$’ sign is assigned ASCII decimal number 036, while the lowercase ‘a’
character is assigned 097.

6. Boolean
A Boolean expression or Boolean logic is an expression used for creating statements
that are either TRUE or FALSE. Boolean expressions use AND, OR, XOR, NOT and NOR
operators with conditional statements in programming, search engines, algorithms,
and formulas. Boolean expressions are also called comparison expressions,
conditional expressions, and relational expressions.
