Introduction to programming[edit]

Programming is the issuing of instructions to a computer. You must learn how to issue instructions to a computer.

Basic understanding[edit]

Basic (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]

Common data structures[edit]

Control Flow[edit]

In computer science, control flow (or flow of control) is the order in which individual statements, instructions or function calls of an imperative program are executed or evaluated. [3]

Basic program organization[edit]
