    Basic Programming Concepts

    • Flowcharts visually represent processes and decisions within programming workflows.
    • Programming involves system software (operating systems) and application software (specific tasks), both created using programming languages like Python.

    Programming Fundamentals

    • Variables store information, such as numbers and strings; they can represent values in calculations (e.g., x + y = z).
    • Common logic structures include:
      • IF-THEN for conditional decisions.
      • FOR Loops for repetition based on a range.
      • WHILE Loops for executing instructions as long as conditions are met.

    Introduction to Blockly

    • Blockly is a visual programming tool designed for beginners, using blocks to represent programming structures.
    • Functions are executed by dragging and assembling colored blocks, enabling the creation of complex programs without textual coding.

    Python Programming

    • Python is known for its readability and simplicity; it operates on principles promoting clarity and maintenance.
    • The Python interpreter can execute commands interactively or run scripts from files, facilitating learning and coding practices.

    Variables and Statements in Python

    • The Python interpreter allows immediate feedback for commands, using the prompt >>> to signify readiness for input.
    • Special variable “_” holds the result of the last expression executed, making calculations efficient.
    • The print statement outputs results, while functions allow for organized and reusable code.
