Types of Programming Languages

2010-03-08T21:00:00.000+05:00

Though i know only basics of programming and 2 or 3 of programming languages, but here i would like to share three types of these languages which are used for different purposes. Programming Languages are actually used by programmers to write and create programs/instructions/codes for computers to execute. Following are the three types of programming languages:

HLL (High Level Language)
MLL (Middle Level Language)
LLL (Low Level Language)

HLL (High Level Language):

High Level Languages are used to create Application Softwares. T languages are close to human languages. These are not the machine languages, which are not understandable to human very well. Since computer understands only machine language so it needs to be converted into machine language so computer can execute the command.
Compiler or Interpreter converts the HLL into Machine Language.

Examples: HTML, FORTRAN, BASIC etc

LLL (Low Level Language):

Low Level Languages are machine languages. These are used to control hardwares/writing divers. It difficult and use Mnemonics.

Example: ASSEMBLY Language

MLL (Middle Level Languages):

Middle Level Language combines the elements of High Level Language and Low Level Language. These languages were created for the facility of programmer.

Examples: C, C++, VB, VC

How to Give Effective Class Presentation

2010-03-06T00:47:00.000+05:00

Giving class presentations is a crucial task in todays study environment because now more emphasis is given on practical work instead of theoretical work and to present your practical work you need to have some good presentation skills. Here I am not going to give you tips on presentation skills but I am going to figure out some mistakes done by most of the students and then how to overcome them. Following some points which you should avoid while giving presentation to make your presentation more effective and keep your audience attentive.

1. Talking with back to audience while writing on board: You should not talk and write at the same time. prepare flip charts ahead of time when possible and if considerable board work is required, use overhead transparencies.

2. Using highly technical words or complex sentences: If technical words must be used then provide definitions. Simplify language and sentences so meaning is clear.

3. Provide examples without much relevance to topic: You don't need to provide unnecessary examples if those are not relevant to your topic so try to be focus on your main topic.

4. Reading rather than presenting: Prepare an outline of points to be covered (Slides) rather than a word-for-word script. Be familiar with each point on the outline so that you are able to talk about it without looking at notes.

5. Speaking in a monotone: To make your presentation effective you need to fluctuate your voice accordingly. For that purpose listen to TV or Radio commentators, pay close attention to when and how they change the tone and pitch of their voice. Practice fluctuating the tone and pitch of your voice before going for presentation. Use pauses in your presentation so you can think about how you want to say something.

6.Making distracting gestures: Don't make irritating or distracting gestures in your presentation because that creates a bad impact on your presentation and also distractes the audience. You better present before some of your friends before actually going for presentation, your friends could tell you if you are making those gestures or not.

These were some of problems which you should avoid while giving your class presentation and also be focus on your dressing and be confident.

CFA in Pakistan: Although CFA is considered to be a self study program for investment professionals but here in Pakistan almost all accountancy schools are offering teaching facilities for CFA. Its looks like CFA is going to take place of ACCA in Pakistan.

Scope of CFA: If you look 2 to 3 years back there was no such awareness in market for CFA charter holders but now all of sudden it become very hot and investment institutions started demanding CFA as an additional qualification so I must say that scope of CFA is vast not only in Pakistan but also all over the world. Most of all it helps you build your career like a professional and you can earn a lot of money in investment banking etc.

2010-02-18T22:56:00.001+05:00

Institute of Communication Studies, also known as mass communication department is one of the department of University of Punjab, Lahore started its life back in 1941. It is situated at the New Campus of the PU, facing Lahore Canal.

Being a Govt. institute, fees are lesser compared to other private institutes. Besides regular fees, you have to face other costs as well; like in presentation, you may have to organize something special to add value to you presentation, since its all related to media and communication studies, so cameras, making videos and other stuff like that can also be added to your costs etc. In Govt. Institutions, prevailing norm is that complain against teacher costs you most of the time, cost can be in form of insult, class room behavior of teacher gets impolite, tough marking etc. Or even if there is not any cost the complain remain unheard and unnoticed. In respective Institute, this norm prevails on moderate level. Sometimes complain is heard only, sometimes implemented, sometimes not even heard etc.
