Libraries - Reading Assignments

Welcome to this assignment. Please answer the following questions from the lecture. Feel free to ask questions here as well if you need the help.

  2. What is documentation and why do we need it?

  1. Libraries are per written functions which some other programmer has written.
  2. The documentation contains a list of all the functions in the library and the examples of how they are to be used.

  1. A library is a stand alone group of coded functions that can be referenced and reused without having to recode the same functions repetitively. aka do not recreate the wheel… just use it and build upon it.

  2. Documentation is extremely important to describe how to use the functions, and expected input/output within the library.

  1. Why do we need libraries in programming?
    Because we would to reuse the code prepared by other programmers to save time.
  2. What is documentation and why do we need it?
    Documentation is the file describing how to use the library with example.
    We use the documentation when we face a new library and the coding inside is so long that it is impossible to go through every sections.

  1. Why do we need libraries in programming?
    They allow us to share and build upon previous work. This saves time, effort, and a need to know.

  2. What is documentation and why do we need it?
    Documentation allows anyone to understand the functions created within the library and how to use them properly.

Library’s - used to stop “reinventing the wheel” Holds code to be reused.
Documentation - essential to guide others on how to use your code or functions

  1. Why do we need libraries in programming?
    (On top of my head, I use libs daily)
  • To stop reinventing the wheel
    therefore get to production faster. Enables sharing of the code too for functionality that
  1. What is documentation and why do we need it?
  • We need a way to know how to use the library without having to know how the underlying code works, the application program interface
  1. Why do we need libraries in programming?
    To save time by taking advantage of code that is already written and proven out.
  2. What is documentation and why do we need it?
    Documentation is a set of explainations and instructions that help a programmer know what the code does and how to use it.
  1. Why do we need libraries in programming?
    To save time. It’s a waste of time to program things that another programmer allready programmed. It is better to reuse that code and you can do that by integrating the library that contains that code.

  2. What is documentation and why do we need it?
    Documentation is needed to know how to use the library. It describes how objects within the library should be used

  1. Why do we need libraries in programming?
    So you do not have to recreate the wheel each time you need to perform an action within your program. Libraries allow you to reuse code others have already written.

  2. What is documentation and why do we need it?
    Documentation tells the programmer how to use the library, as well as all of the functions of the library that they are implementing.

Hello Ivan,
A library is a collection of recompiled routines that a program can use. The routines, sometimes called modules, are stored in object format. Libraries are particularly useful for storing frequently used routines because you do not need to explicitly link them to every program that uses them.
I am sharing my experience and knowledge. but i really don’t know about the documentation and its needs. can you please sharing about this.
By the way i am searching one of the best assignments company who provides the best programming assignments help in Australia.

Programming Assignments Help also provides online assignment help, java assignment help, academic writing service, database assignments help, computer programming assignments help, technical php help.

  1. Why do we need libraries in programming?

It allows us to reuse functionality that has already been writing

  1. What is documentation and why do we need it?

Documentation describes the functions and associated inputs and outputs that are in a library

1.) Libraries let the developer use functionality without develop (basic) functions - they can use functions in an abstract way.

2.) Documentation allows (other) developers to understand the code, the functions, the parameters and interfaces. So it’s possible to understand, maintain, extend, debug the code easier.

  1. We need libraries for functions which we need to implement in our program.
  2. Documentation describes all the functions within a library.

To not invent the wheel over and over again, programmers decided to safe their code for certain functions in libraries. You can use it to quickly add functionality into your code

Documentation just tells what a piece of program in the library does, and shows maybe examples

  1. A library is a JavaScript file that contains a bunch of functions, and those functions accomplish some useful task for your webpage. It’s a way of using tried and tested code rather than spending time trying to create new code for the same purpose.

  2. Documentation lets the user of the library know what each function does.

  1. In programming, we need libraries to save time and reuse code that was already created for certain functions.

  2. Documentation is a set of instructions and explanations describing how functions are used by the developers who create them.

  1. Programming libraries reduce the need to write code for common functions across applications.

  2. Documentations puts the code into easier to read/understand instructions. Without documentation, a developer would need to search source code for the needed functions, losing the time a library was meant to save.
