Hi everyone I am Rhythm and this is my first blog. A quick intro about me and then we will jump into today's topic. I am a student currently learning various tech skills Python, Pandas, Machine Learning, MySQL, Power BI etc. Right here, I would be talking about stuff relating to programming, data analysis, stats, machine learning etc in a much more beginner-friendly way, so consider subscribing to my newsletter :)

So this article is for complete beginners who are just starting in programming, it would help them in starting their journey in programming. In this article, I will be acquainting you with some programming terms which you might come across in your programming journey. Ok now let's jump straight in.

Programming Languages serve as middlemen that translate instructions into machine language which is 0s and 1s.

  • IDE: IDE or Integrated Development Environment is a place to write, run and debug code and also convert it into machine code

  • Syntax: Rules you must follow to run your code successfully. The syntax for each programming language is different.

  • Error: When your IDE could not compile the code it would result in an error. For ex-: Syntax error

  • Console: A console is a developer tool

  • Operators: These are special symbols or keywords that perform specific operations like arithmetic operators['+', '-', '/', '*'], comparison operators like '==', '<' etc

  • Variable: These are used to store values. For example-: a = 10, then a is a variable. Note-> They must be continuous and not broken

  • Conditional statements: These help us to apply conditions and get a very specific value. These include if, else and elseif keywords. This can help us run code based on the inputs received by the user

  • Arrays: As we saw above variable can store data, but it can store only singular bits at a time. At this moment comes arrays which can store multiple variables or data. For ex-: [12, 'a', 5]

  • Index: These are the places in arrays which help us identify values of arrays. They start from the 0th index. For ex-: in [12, 'a', 5] 12 has the 0th index, a is in the 1st index and 5 in the 2nd.

This was about the basic programming terms you need to know when starting. Hope it adds value and that you found it helpful. Will be posting more such content. Stay tuned for more :)
