 Chapter 2: Common Terms In Programs

Here are some common terms you WILL come across in the upcoming chapters.

1. Syntax: It is the way a program is to be written. It is different according to different programming languages and is essential for smooth functioning of program logic.

2. Binary: It is the basic-most language that the computer understands. Transfer of information in the computer takes place through this. It consists just the digits 0 and 1. 0  stands for false 1 stands for true. Binary is similar to function of neurons in the human brain.

There is a concept of Packages in java. Just like a folder, a package can be used to store classes of the same type having different functions.  Syntax for accessing a package in java: import <package1>.<package2>.<classname>; Example: import java.io.DataInputStream; This will import the DataInputStream class into your program for you to use. This means there is a default folder called java with a folder called io in it which contains i/o (input/output) related classes i.e. here DataInputStream A dot "." is used to access folders/packages or classes inside a folder/package. An "*" represents that all classes in the following package have to be imported. A package is always imported before defining a class. IN SCHOOLS WE USE JDK 1.5, LATEST JDK 18 HAS ...

Chapter 10: Divide and Conquer

 Chapter 10: Divide and Conquer Hey! Thanks for showing the support ❤️ Back with a topic which is not related to only Java but can be implemented in the real world too. Although this is a certified method now, I never learnt this from the internet. And in my opinion it is the easiest and the best way to solve a problem.  So, what is Divide and Conquer? Divide and Conquer involves three steps:  1) Carefully reading/analyzing the problem 2) Dividing the problem into subproblems 3) Finding solutions to those sub problems And that's it! You can do this for as many times you want, creating a tree of problems and solutions until you get the easiest form of the problem and then solve it step-by-step.  This rule will help you find the correct approach to a problem and how to find a solution without getting astray from the path. Now comes, how to implement this with programming? Misconception - It may seem that this method is a time taking method with the number of steps you ...
