Introduction to Basic Computer Science Concepts

1. Programming Fundamentals
- Variables store data values.
- Conditional statements (if-else) control decision-making.
- Loops (for, while) execute repeated actions.

2. Data Structures
- Arrays store multiple values in a single variable.
- Linked Lists contain nodes pointing to the next element.
- Stacks and Queues manage data in a Last-In-First-Out (LIFO) or First-In-First-Out (FIFO)
manner.

3. Algorithms and Complexity


- Sorting algorithms: Bubble Sort, Quick Sort, Merge Sort.
- Searching algorithms: Binary Search, Linear Search.
- Big-O notation measures algorithm efficiency.

4. Computer Hardware
- CPU (Central Processing Unit) executes instructions.
- RAM (Random Access Memory) stores temporary data.
- Hard Drives and SSDs provide long-term storage.

5. Networking Basics
- IP addresses identify devices on a network.
- TCP/IP protocol governs internet communication.
- Cybersecurity ensures data protection against threats.

Computer Science is essential for technological advancements and problem-solving.
