Watch the video and write the explanation of the words: syntax, if statement, conditional loop,
function, library.
Syntax: Syntax refers to the set of rules that govern the structure and composition of statements
in a programming language. Just like natural languages, such as English, have a syntax that
dictates the correct arrangement of words, programming languages also have a syntax that
determines how statements are formed and how they should be organized.
Conditional loop: A conditional loop is a control flow structure that repeatedly executes a block
of code as long as a certain condition is true. There are two common types of conditional loops:
while loops and for loops. While loops execute the block of code while the specified condition is
true, whereas for loops repeat a specific number of times and are count-controlled.
Library: A library is a collection of pre-written functions or code modules that programmers can
use in their own programs. Libraries are typically written by expert coders and

Machine code: A sequence of binary instructions that can be directly executed by a computer's
hardware. Machine code is represented by 1s and 0s and is the lowest-level programming
language.
Assembly languages: Symbolic languages that represent machine code instructions using
human-readable mnemonics (e.g., ADD, SUB, MPY) to facilitate easier programming. Each
assembly language is specific to a particular computer architecture.
Assembler: A software program that translates assembly language code into machine code.
Low-level languages: Programming languages that are closer to the hardware, such as machine
code and assembly languages. These languages are often more complex and machine-specific.
High-level languages: Programming languages that are closer to natural language and easier for
humans to understand. High-level languages are more abstract and can be used on different
types of machines. Examples include FORTRAN, COBOL, BASIC, PASCAL, C, and JAVA.
FORTRAN: A high-level programming language developed by IBM in 1954, primarily used for
scientific and engineering applications.
COBOL: A high-level programming language developed in 1959, mainly used for business
applications. COBOL stands for Common Business Oriented Language.
PASCAL: A high-level programming language created in 1971, often used in universities to teach
the fundamentals of programming.
C: A high-level programming language developed in the 1980s at AT&T, used for system
software, graphics, and commercial applications. C++ is an extension of C that incorporates
object-oriented programming, which focuses on specific objects and allows functions to be
altered without changing the entire program.
JAVA: A high-level programming language designed by Sun Microsystems in 1995 to run on the
Web. Java applets provide animation and interactive features on web pages.
Compiler: A software program that translates high-level source code into machine-readable
object code by converting the entire program at once.
Interpreter: A software program that translates high-level source code into machine-readable
object code line by line as the program runs.
Object code: The machine code generated by a compiler from the source code of a high-level
programming language.
Markup languages: Languages used to create and format web documents by utilizing markup
tags to define the structure and presentation of text files. Markup languages are not the same as
programming languages.
Markup tags: Instructions used in markup languages to format and link text files.
HTML: Hypertext Markup Language, a markup language used to describe the structure and
presentation of information on web pages.
XML: Extensible Markup Language, a markup language that allows users to define their own
tags, as it is not limited
