An algorithm is a series of steps designed to solve a specific problem.
Debugging involves finding and resolving bugs or errors in a program.
Quick Sort is generally faster for large datasets due to its divide-and-conquer approach.
A loop allows code to be executed repeatedly based on a condition or a set number of times.
Recursion is a technique where a function calls itself to solve smaller instances of the same problem.
A data structure organizes data in a specific way to enable efficient operations and manipulation.
If-Else and Switch Case are control structures that manage flow of execution, whereas Packaging is not.
An IDE, or Integrated Development Environment, provides tools and features for software development.
A compiler translates high-level programming code into machine code that can be executed by the CPU.
Version control systems like Git track changes to code, making collaboration easier and history tracking possible.
