  Introduction to ComputerProgramming  Objective By the end of this lesson, students will be able to understand the basic concepts of computer programming, write their first simple program, and explain fundamental programming terminology.
• 4.
  What is ComputerProgramming? Computer programming, also known as coding, is the process of writing instructions that a computer can follow to perform tasks. These instructions are written in programming languages, which are specialized languages designed to communicate with computers.
• 5.
  Key Points:  ProgrammingLanguage: A set of rules and syntax used to write code. Examples include Python, Java, and JavaScript.  Code: The written instructions that a computer executes.  Program: A set of related instructions that perform a specific task or solve a problem.

  Basic Concepts ofProgramming  Algorithms Definition: A step-by-step procedure for solving a problem or performing a task. Example: Making a sandwich involves a series of steps such as getting ingredients, spreading butter, etc.

  Basic Programming Terminology Syntax: The rules that define the structure of valid code.  Debugging: The process of finding and fixing errors in code.  Compile: The process of converting code into machine language (specific to compiled languages like C++). Python is an interpreted language, so it executes code directly.  IDE (Integrated Development Environment): A software application that provides tools for programming, such as code editors and debuggers.

  What is ProgrammingLanguage?  A programming language (often abbreviated as "prog lang") is a formal set of instructions that a computer can understand and execute. It provides a way for programmers to write software and interact with the hardware of a computer or other devices.

  Key Aspects ofProgramming Languages  Syntax  The set of rules that define the structure of valid code in the language.  Similar to grammar in human languages, syntax dictates how code must be written.  Semantics  The meaning behind the syntax.  Defines what the code does when executed, such as operations and interactions.  Keywords and Operators  Keywords: Reserved words that have special meaning in the language (e.g., if, for, while in many languages).  Operators: Symbols that perform operations on variables and values (e.g., + for addition, == for equality).
