Global variables are accessible throughout the program, while local variables are confined to the block or function where they are defined.
Global variables are declared outside of functions and can be accessed anywhere in the code.
Local variables are declared within a function or block and can only be accessed within that scope.
Example of a global variable: `int globalVar = 10;`
Example of a local variable: `void f...
A class is a blueprint for creating objects, while a method is a function defined within a class that operates on its data.
A class encapsulates data and behavior in object-oriented programming.
Example: class Car { } defines a Car class.
A method is a function that belongs to a class.
Example: class Car { void drive() { } } defines a drive method.
A for loop iterates through an array to print each element sequentially.
Use a for loop syntax: for (initialization; condition; increment) { }
Example: for (int i = 0; i < array.length; i++) { System.out.println(array[i]); }
In JavaScript: for (let i = 0; i < array.length; i++) { console.log(array[i]); }
In Python: for element in array: print(element)
C is a high-level programming language known for its efficiency and control over system resources.
Developed in the early 1970s at Bell Labs.
Used for system programming, embedded systems, and application development.
Supports procedural programming and low-level memory manipulation.
Example: Writing operating systems like UNIX.
C is the foundation for many modern languages like C++, C#, and Java.

Reversing a number involves converting it to a string, reversing the string, and converting it back to a number.
Convert the number to a string: e.g., 123 becomes '123'.
Reverse the string: '123' becomes '321'.
Convert the reversed string back to a number: '321' becomes 321.
Handle negative numbers: -123 becomes '-321'.
Consider leading zeros: 100 becomes '001', which is 1.
Method overriding allows a subclass to provide a specific implementation of a method already defined in its superclass.
Occurs in object-oriented programming (OOP) when a subclass redefines a method of its superclass.
The method in the subclass must have the same name, return type, and parameters as the method in the superclass.
Example: If a superclass has a method 'draw()', a subclass can override it to provide a s...
OOP is a programming paradigm based on objects, encapsulating data and behavior for modular and reusable code.
Encapsulation: Bundling data and methods that operate on the data within one unit (e.g., a class).
Inheritance: Mechanism to create a new class using properties and methods of an existing class (e.g., a 'Dog' class inheriting from an 'Animal' class).
Polymorphism: Ability to present the same interface for di...
Fundamental coding concepts include syntax, data structures, algorithms, and debugging, essential for effective programming.
Syntax: The set of rules that defines the combinations of symbols that are considered to be correctly structured programs. Example: In Python, indentation is crucial.
Data Structures: Ways to organize and store data for efficient access and modification. Example: Arrays, linked lists, and hash...
