Programming Slangs IDE - Integrated Development Environment – the software in which you develop an application. Code -The entire body of source code found in a computer application Writing Code-The process of creating the computer program (entering the code) Run- running-starting, using or testing an application or piece of code

Programming Slangs Runtime- When application runs, and what occurs during running Execution- the process of running a certain piece of code during runtime Compile- The process of assembling code into a format usable for executing the code Design time- When the application is developed (this is always a continuous process)

Building blocks for Programming Variables For storing temporary data Arrays For storing lists of temporary data Functions For grouping and reusing instructions Loops For repeating instructions Conditionals For making decisions

What is a program? Computer programs are collections of instructions that tell a computer how to interact with the user, interact with the computer hardware and process data. The first programmable computers required the programmers to write explicit instructions to directly manipulate the hardware of the computer. This "machine language" was very tedious to write by hand since even simple tasks such as printing some output on the screen require 10 or 20 machine language commands. Machine language is often referred to as a "low level language" since the code directly manipulates the hardware of the computer.
