Programming 101 - Basic Concepts of Programming

COMPUTER VIRUS EXPLAINED IN SIMPLE TERMS⠀ ⠀ "Fear, left unchecked, can spread like a virus!" ⠀ 👉 COVI Computer Virus is malicious code that replicates by copying itself to another program, boot sector, or document and changes the way a computer works.⠀ ⠀ 👉Cause Computer viruses are designed to cause damage, steal personal information, modify data, send emails, display messages, or perform combinations of these actions.⠀ ⠀ 👉 Spread Some common ways of spreading are downloads, email attachments, removable hardware, and so on. ⠀ Infection⠀ A computer virus attack can produce a variety of symptoms:⠀ - Frequent crashes⠀ - Frequent pop-up windows⠀ - Changes to your homepage⠀ - Unusually slow computer performance⠀ - Unusual activities like password change ⠀ 👉 Protection ⠀ The following measures can help prevent a virus infection: ⠀ - Backup your files - Don’t use open Wi-Fi - Think before you click - Install Anti-Virus software - Use multiple strong passwords ⠀ Well, ...

THE 5 LAWS OF PROGRAMMING ⠀ ⠀ 👉Don’t predict⠀ Bottlenecks exist in unexpected places, but don’t attempt to guess second and bring in a pace hack before you’ve proven where the bottleneck is.⠀ ⠀ 👉 Measurement ⠀ Take data! Data and experiments will always aid in further development of your applications.⠀ ⠀ 👉 Don’t get too fancy⠀ There are major constraints in sophisticated algorithms. Before you realize that a part of an algorithm will always not work, don’t get fancy.⠀ ⠀ 👉 Do it simple ⠀ Fancy algorithms are more complex than basic ones, which are far more challenging to introduce. Use simple algorithms, and use simple structures of data.⠀ ⠀ 👉 Data prevails⠀ The algorithms would almost always be self-evident if you,ve selected the correct data models and ordered stuff well. The data structures are essential to programming, not algorithms.⠀ ⠀ 👉 Bonus⠀ Make it done first then make it better.⠀ ⠀ Now, never forget these laws.⠀ Share this post with your friends.⠀ ⠀

TRICKS TO MASTER GOOGLE SEARCH⠀ ⠀ "What you seek is seeking you!"⠀ ⠀ 👉Asterisk *⠀ Use an asterisk “*” to find words or phrases that you can’t remember⠀ ⠀ 👉 Site: ⠀ Use “site:’ to search within a specific website.⠀ ⠀ 👉 Quotations “”⠀ Search for exact phrases using quotations ””.⠀ ⠀ 👉 Minus - ⠀ Use “-” to exclude certain keywords from your search result.⠀ ⠀ 👉 Time…Time⠀ You can search within a time frame using “...”.⠀ ⠀ 👉 OR⠀ Use “OR” when you can’t remember which topic you’re thinking of.⠀ ⠀ Help your friends by sharing this post with them.⠀ ⠀ Do you know any other tricks?

💭 THINK LIKE A PROGRAMMER "A good programmer is someone who always looks both ways before crossing a one-way street!" ⠀ 👉 Become a problem-solver⠀ Programming is all about problem-solving: thinking logically and breaking down a problem into steps to find a solution.⠀ 👉 Learn to not give up ⠀ An important aspect of programming is facing bugs and failures. Once you start programming, you might spend hours looking for a bug and feel ready to quit. Don’t give up. Success is closer than you think!⠀ 👉 Find the answer by yourself⠀ Before you ask someone, push yourself as much as possible at your current skill level. Start by googling your problem. Get help from Stack Overflow, GitHub, MDN, etc.⠀ ⠀ 👉Ask your coding community ⠀ Knowing when to stop and ask for help is just as important as knowing when to keep going. If you really can’t find the solution, it’s probably a good time to ask someone.⠀ ⠀ 👉Be persistent ⠀ Whatever your situation is, you should be persistent...

CORE CONCEPTS OF ANY PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE "The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding! " ⠀ 👉Variable ⠀ Variables are containers in programs that store data and can be referenced and manipulated many times throughout the execution of a program.⠀ ⠀ 👉Conditional Statement ⠀ Conditional statements evaluate if a condition is true or false. Based on the result, it will perform different tasks.⠀ ⠀ 👉Loop⠀ Loop is a sequence of instructions that is continuously repeated until a certain condition is reached.⠀ ⠀ 👉Function⠀ Function is a block of code designed to perform a particular task that only runs when it is called. You can pass data into a function and the function can return data as a result.⠀ ⠀ 👉Data Type ⠀ Data types help classify what kind of information we are storing and what can be done with it. Data types include number, boolean, string, etc.⠀ ⠀ 👉Comment⠀ Comments can be used to explain your code, make the code more readable, and to prevent execution ...
