What is the difference between Coder, Programmer& Developer, Software engineer?

 

HOW DO YOU DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN THESE TERMS AND KNOW WHAT DO THEY ALL MEAN AND WHO DO YOU TURN TO WHEN YOU JUST NEED TO GET SOMETHING DONE?

In reality, these terms are often used interchangeably, that vary from organization to organization, and can even mean different things depending on the circumstance.

                 

Coders

One who can write some code is often referred to as a coder by the people outside of the tech industry. But, usually, coders are considered the least trained or experienced level of programmers. These individuals do not have the same algorithmic knowledge as a programmer or developer, as they are often a beginner in the field, skilled in just one coding language. We can also say that anyone who can write some code that compiles and runs, which will do something they want when its given the right inputs. This could be a program, a script, some classes or a library.

Programmers

They are more experienced coders who are versed in at least two to three programming languages and write clean, error-free codes. They can apply their algorithmic knowledge to create more sophisticated levels of software coding. Conclusively Programmers does not develop or design or invent anything new just use existed languages like HTML, CSS and Python, and they are expert in those languages.

                                  

Developers

Developers are the ones who are there from start to finish of a project and are responsible for the overall design of the application. They are same as like programmer, but they are not expert like programmers and they perform general development and designing like web designers and developers.

Software Engineers

These are of the highest level and are the most expert coders. They are well versed in three programming languages or more and use their skills to design and implement the overall architecture of the application. They modularize the final product to develop a clean interface and then work with the programmers and developers to implement the more detailed aspects of the design. An engineer position would usually imply that you are a developer who has a specific type of degree, some knowledge of engineering, and is capable of designing a system.

Square root Algorithm in C++

 Here is the way you can find the square root of any number by writing your own code in c++.  #include<iostream> using namespace std; double sqrt(double num){ double stop_condition = 0.00000001; double guess = num/2; while((guess-num/guess) > stop_condition){ guess = (guess+num/2)/2; } return guess; } int main(){ double num = 4; cout<<"The result is: "<<sqrt(num)<<endl; return 0; }
