Programming[1]


Introduction to programming[edit]

Programming is the writing and executing instructions for a computer system.

Primitive data types[edit]

In computer science and computer programming, a data type or simply type is a classification of data which tells the compiler or interpreter how the programmer intends to use the data. Most programming languages support various types of data, for example: real, integer or Boolean.[2]

The list below describes some of the more common primitive data types

Common data structures[edit]

A data structure is just some organization of data that we've built into an orderly arrangement.

Data structures which are assessed by the IB[edit]

Data structures which are not assessed by the IB[edit]

Basic program organization[edit]
