    Study Notes

    Introduction to Programming

    • This lesson introduces the concept of programming.

    Understanding Algorithms and Logic

    • Programming involves writing instructions for computers to follow.
    • Algorithms are step-by-step instructions that solve a specific problem.
    • Logic refers to the reasoning and decision-making processes used in algorithms.

    What is a Programming Language?

    • Programming languages provide a way to communicate with computers.
    • They use a set of rules and syntax to instruct computers to perform tasks.

    Compiled vs Interpreted Languages

    • Compiled languages are translated into machine code before execution.
    • Interpreted languages are executed line by line without prior translation.
