  2. Computer programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_programming

    Computer programming is the composition of sequences of instructions, called programs, that computers can follow to perform tasks. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It involves designing and implementing algorithms , step-by-step specifications of procedures, by writing code in one or more programming languages .

  3. Operator (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Operator_(computer_programming)

    In computer programming, operators are constructs defined within programming languages which behave generally like functions, but which differ syntactically or semantically. Common simple examples include arithmetic (e.g. addition with +), comparison (e.g. "greater than" with >), and logical operations (e.g. AND, also written && in some languages).

  4. Symbol (programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbol_(programming)

    A symbol in computer programming is a primitive data type whose instances have a human-readable form. Symbols can be used as identifiers. In some programming languages, they are called atoms. [1] Uniqueness is enforced by holding them in a symbol table.

  6. Computer program - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_program

    A computer program is a sequence or set [a] of instructions in a programming language for a computer to execute. It is one component of software, which also includes documentation and other intangible components. [1] A computer program in its human-readable form is called source code.

  7. Function (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Function_(computer_programming)

    In computer programming, a function (also procedure, method, subroutine, routine, or subprogram) is a callable unit [1] of software logic that has a well-defined interface and behavior and can be invoked multiple times.

  8. Syntax (programming languages) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syntax_(programming_languages)

    The phrase grammar of most programming languages can be specified using a Type-2 grammar, i.e., they are context-free grammars, [8] though the overall syntax is context-sensitive (due to variable declarations and nested scopes), hence Type-1. However, there are exceptions, and for some languages the phrase grammar is Type-0 (Turing-complete).

  9. Outline of computer programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Outline_of_computer_programming

    Programming involves activities such as analysis, developing understanding, generating algorithms, verification of requirements of algorithms including their correctness and resources consumption, and implementation (commonly referred to as coding [1] [2]) of algorithms in a target programming language.
