Programming Fundamentals

Welcome to our Programming Fundamentals tutorial! In this tutorial, we'll cover the basic concepts and principles of programming.

What is Programming?

"Programming is like writing a recipe for your computer. Imagine you want to make a sandwich. You need to tell someone how to make it, step by step. You would say something like: "Take two slices of bread. Add cheese. Add tomato. Put them together." A computer works in a similar way. You need to tell it exactly what to do, step by step, to get the result you want. This is called programming. Programming is a way of giving instructions to a computer so it can perform tasks, solve problems, or create something new. It's like writing a set of instructions that the computer can understand and follow.

Variables and Data Types

Variables are containers that store values, and data types determine the type of value a variable can hold,it is like storing a specific value,in a smaller named container,such that you wont have to type it again and again,instead you use the variables.

Control Structures

Control structures, such as if-else statements and loops, control the flow of a program's execution,loops,allows you to run or iterate over a program for a particular number or until a condition is met,and if-else are used,to take decision.

Functions

Functions are reusable blocks of code that perform a specific task.

in a function we define a block of code,which we can use later by just calling the function.

Conclusion and Next Steps

Congratulations! You've learned the basic programming concepts.now that you know the fundamentals of coding,you can try learning a programming language to see how these work.
