What to Focus On

  • A program is a set of instructions in a programming language.
  • Computer work follows the Input–Process–Output cycle.
  • Java is a high-level language.

  • Portable programs run on different platforms.
  • User-friendly programs are easy to understand.
  • Concise programs use fewer resources.

  • Language translators convert source code into machine language.
  • Compiler checks the whole program at once.
  • Interpreter checks line by line.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A program is just any set of computer commands, even if it is not written in a specific programming language.

Compiler and interpreter do the same job in the same way.

Source code is the machine-language result after translation.
