Programming Basics – Getting Started

Introduction to Programming

Programming is the process of creating instructions that a computer can follow to perform tasks.

Core Concepts

1. Variables

Variables store data values. Think of them as labeled boxes that hold information.

name = "John"nage = 25nis_student = True

2. Data Types

  • String: Text data (“Hello World”)
  • Integer: Whole numbers (42)
  • Float: Decimal numbers (3.14)
  • Boolean: True or False

3. Control Flow

Programs make decisions using if/else statements and repeat actions using loops.

4. Functions

Functions are reusable blocks of code that perform specific tasks.
