Intro to Programming

Compare high level and low level programming languages, highlighting abstraction that shields you from hardware details, and direct hardware access through machine language and memory management in low level languages.

Explore how programming languages run as compiled or interpreted, with examples like C++, Java, JavaScript, and Python, and describe how compilers and interpreters convert code.

Compare compiled and interpreted languages using a sugar cane analogy. See how source code becomes compiled code through a compiler, or is run directly by an interpreter.

Explore data types, from strongly typed to weakly typed languages, and how variables hold numbers, characters, booleans, and arrays or pointers.

Explore C++ data types, including character, integer, and floating point types, plus boolean and void types, noting language-specific differences.

discover how variables act as memory placeholders and changeable values, with proper identifiers like username and password, and learn how declaration differs in languages such as JavaScript, Java, and C++.

Compare strongly typed and weakly typed languages and learn how to declare and assign variables in c++ and javascript.

Explore JavaScript variables by declaring and initializing a variable, using strings in quotes, and calculating area with length and width to illustrate dynamic value changes.

Declare constants to protect values from being changed, using const in languages like C++, where constants become read-only after initialization, unlike JavaScript.
