What is programming explained in simple words

Hi my dear friends today in this blog post we are going to know what programming is? In simple words I will explain to you programming. Nowadays we are watching real life use of programming. How computers learn to speak, talk and do the specified complex task for us. We are all keen to know what is exactly programming? Programming is the process of creating instructions that a computer can understand and execute. These instructions, also known as code, are written in a programming language that is specific to the task at hand. The history of programming can be traced back to the mid-20th century, with the development of the first electronic computers. The first programming languages were known as machine languages, which were specific to a particular type of computer. As computers became more sophisticated, high-level programming languages were developed, such as FORTRAN and COBOL, which were easier for humans to read and write. These languages allow programmers to write code t

check number is prime or odd or even using c program

Here is the c program to check if the user entered number is prime ,even and odd. These few lines of code solve three problems. In the above program we used integer type num variable for storing user entered numbers. Then we used the IF condition statement. That's all. IF condition for even number In the First IF statement we have a logic. If the number is divided by two then the reminder should be 0 then the number is an even number else not an even number. That simple logic is implemented in the first if statement. IF condition for odd number In the second IF statement we Implemented odd number logic. We identify odd numbers just by making little change in even number logic. If the number is divided by two then the reminder should not be a zero. Then the number is odd. That's simple logic used to identify whether a number is odd or not an odd number. IF condition for prime number In the third IF condition we implemented the logic of the prime number. In this IF

Graph Data Structure

Graph A graph can be defined as a group of vertices and edges that are used to connect these vertices. A graph can be seen as a cyclic tree, where the vertices (Nodes) maintain any complex relationship among them instead of having parent child relationship. A graph G can be defined as an ordered set G(V, E) where V(G) represents the set of vertices and E(G) represents the set of edges which are used to connect these vertices. A Graph G(V, E) with 5 vertices (A, B, C, D, E) and six edges ((A,B), (B,C), (C,E), (E,D), (D,B), (D,A)) is shown in the following figure. Directed and undirected graph Graph terminology Graph Representation Directed Graph Adjancency Matrix Graph Traversal Depth first search algorithm Directed and undirected graph A graph can be directed or undirected. However, in an undirected graph, edges are not associated with the directions with them. An undirected graph does not have any edges in directions. If an edge exists between ver
