1. Define the Julia programming language and identify its core features and historical context.
2. Differentiate Julia from other technical computing languages in terms of performance and syntax.
3. Successfully install and configure the Julia environment and REPL on Linux, Windows, and macOS.
4. Apply Julia’s stylistic conventions for variable naming and utilize single/multi-line comments for code documentation.
5. Construct arrays of various types and dimensions using range objects, generators, comprehensions, and built-in functions like zeros() and ones().
6. Execute advanced array indexing and mutation tasks using boolean logic, the end keyword, and exclamation-marked functions (e.g., push!, splice!).
7. Construct and manipulate Tuples and Named Tuples, including their application as function keyword arguments.
8. Identify and manage integer overflow behaviors and division errors using standard and arbitrary-precision types.
9. Analyze floating-point representations, including signed zeros, special values (NaN, Inf), and machine epsilon.
10. Execute and combine arithmetic, bitwise, and updating operators to manipulate data types.
