Computer Programming – Environment

 

Programming Methodology

     Way to analyzing complex problems, planning for software development and controlling the development process is called programming methodology.

Computer Programming – Environment

Computer Programming – Environment is not part of any Programming Language, it is the first step to be followed before setting on to write a program.

When we say Environment Setup, it simply means a base on top of which we can do our programming. Thus, we need to have the required software setup, i.e., installation on our PC which will be used to write computer programs, compile, and execute them.

For example, if you need to browse Internet, then you need the following setup on your machine −

·         Internet connection

·         A Web browser such as Internet Explorer, Chrome etc.

Similarly, you will need the following setup to start with programming using any programming language.

·         A text editor to create computer programs.

·         A compiler to compile the programs into binary format.

·         An interpreter to execute the programs directly.

Program

A program consist of a series of instructions to tell a computer exactly what to do and how to do any task.

Programmer

Someone who writes software or programs for computers is called a programmer. If you develop an application for mobile devices, you can also call yourself a programmer.

Programmers use a different programming languages to write the program/code/ instructions for performing different task. A programmer is a person who designs and writes and tests computer programs. Programmer is also known as coder, Computer Programmer, Software Engineer.
