Programming Techniques

Modularity

• Definition: Breaking down a program into smaller, independent modules.
• Benefits: Easier maintenance, reusability, and debugging.

Code Reusability

• Definition: Writing code that can be used in multiple contexts.
• Benefits: Saves time, reduces errors, and improves maintainability.

Abstraction

• Definition: Hiding complex implementation details and showing only necessary information.
• Benefits: Simplifies code, reduces complexity, and improves readability.

Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)

• Definition: A programming paradigm that uses objects and classes to organize code.
• Benefits: Encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism.

Functional Programming

• Definition: A programming paradigm that emphasizes the use of pure functions and immutable data.
• Benefits: Predictability, composability, and easier debugging.

Debugging Techniques

• Print Debugging: Using print statements to understand the flow of the program.
• Debugger Tools: Using specialized tools to step through code and inspect variables.
• Logging: Recording events and errors to diagnose issues.

Code Optimization

• Definition: Improving the performance and efficiency of code.
• Techniques: Caching, memoization, loop optimization, and algorithmic improvements.
