Introduction

 Definition: The process of designing and building executable


computer programs to accomplish specific tasks.
 Importance: Essential for technology development, automation, and
problem-solving.
Fundamental Concepts
 Algorithms: A step-by-step procedure for solving a problem.
 Examples: Sorting algorithms, search algorithms.
 Programming Languages: Different languages for different tasks
(e.g., Python for data science, Java for web applications, C++ for
system programming).
Basic Programming Constructs
 Variables and Data Types: Storage locations with a name and value;
types include integer, float, string, boolean.
 Control Structures: Conditional execution of code (if statements,
loops).
 Functions and Procedures: Reusable blocks of code that perform a
specific task.
Writing and Running a Simple Program
 Step-by-Step Guide: Writing code using a text editor or IDE,
compiling/interpreting, and running the program.
 Example Program: A simple "Hello, World!" program in Python.
Common Programming Paradigms
 Procedural Programming: Focus on procedures or routines (e.g., C
language).
 Object-Oriented Programming: Focus on objects and classes (e.g.,
Java, C++).
Conclusion
 Summary: Basics of programming, constructs, and paradigms.
 Encouragement to Start Learning: Resources and tips for beginners.
