LESSON WORK

ORGANIZING YOUR WORK

Your work for this course will be stored in two different locations. All your code will be stored inside your workspace (a folder that you specify inside Eclipse). All other work that you create will be stored inside an ICS3U folder that you need to create. Please make sure that all work is organized by topic number.

QUESTION 1

Define the following terms:

· Programming language

· Computer program

· Statement

· Syntax

Save your work in a text file name question01.txt. Place that file inside a topic01 folder inside your ICS3U folder.

QUESTION 2

List the 5 most popular programming languages (look at the note).

Save your work in a text file named question02.txt. Place that file inside the topic01 folder inside your ICS3U folder.

QUESTION 3 (OPTIONAL)

The first program that most learn to do in any language is usually the Hello World program. It is simply a program that displays the text “Hello World” on the screen.

Use Google to search for “List of Hello world program examples” that is on Wikipedia. Take a few minutes to compare the programs for a few of the most popular programming languages. Try to notice how they differ from one another. Note that they all have a very different syntax.

No work has to be save for this question though you may have to pass a lie detector test to prove that you have done it.
