MIT Introduction to Computer science and programming (Lesson one)
This article is a note on the first episode of MIT's introduction to Computer science and programming.
Lesson One:goals of the course;what is computation;introduction to data types,operators,and variables
The task of explaining the course, the goal of the course
- Think Like a computer scientist
- are able to read and write programs
- Tacking technical problems
Skills
- Learn to write small-scale programs to develop your own computational thinking
- Learn to read someone else's code and apply it to write your own style of code
- Understand the fundamentals and limitations of computers
bis there is no best language
- They all is description diferent things, has said that, some of them is bettr suited for something than others.
- Matlab is great for doing things with Vactors and mathices.
- C is better to control date networks (specialized in surgery, each language has its own)
- High-level VS. Low-level Language
- General VS targeted Language
- Compiled VS interpreted Language
- Python is high, general-purpose, interpreted language
Three statics, string, numbers, some others etc ...
- The code style allows us to avoid simple semantic errors
- Some simple code
