Understanding Programming Methodologies: A Comprehensive Guide Introduction Programming methodologies define structured approaches to writing code, improving efficiency, maintainability, and scalability. Different methodologies provide distinct ways of thinking about problem-solving, organizing logic, and structuring applications. This blog explores various programming methodologies, their advantages, drawbacks, applications, and best use cases. 1. Procedural Programming Procedural programming follows a step-by-step approach where code is structured as procedures or functions. Characteristics: Based on the concept of procedure calls. Follows a linear, top-down execution model. Uses variables, loops, and control structures. Languages: C, Pascal, Fortran Sample Code (C): #include <stdio.h> void greet() { printf("Hello, World!\n"); } int main() { greet(); return 0; } Applications: Embedded systems (e.g., firmware, microcontrollers) Operating systems (e.g., Li...
File I/O Classes: Creating Files and Directories 1. File Class: - Represents a file or directory path. - Provides methods for creating new files and directories. File file = new File("newFile.txt"); try { if (file.createNewFile()) { System.out.println("File created: " + file.getName()); } else { System.out.println("File already exists."); } } catch (IOException e) { System.out.println("An error occurred."); e.printStackTrace(); } 2. mkdir() Method: - Creates a directory. File directory = new File("newDirectory"); if (directory.mkdir()) { System.out.println("Directory created: " + directory.getName()); } else { ...
