    Study Notes

    What is a Program?

    • A program is a set of instructions written in a computer language that a computer follows to perform a specific task.
    • The set of instructions is called an algorithm.

    Programming Language

    • A programming language is the language used to write algorithms.

    Variables

    • Variables are used in programs to make the programs more flexible.
    • Variables are used to store a set of things (usually numbers) that are provided to the script.
    • The algorithm runs using the variables and provides a result.
    • Variables can be used to make recipes more flexible, for example, by providing the number of people being cooked for.

    Types of Variables

    • Numeric variables
    • String variables
    • Data Frames variables
    • Lists variables

    Creating a Variable

    • To create a variable, simply write the new variable name and assign a value using the assignment operator.
