Hello and welcome.
This wiki supports the learning of high school computer science. Specificially, IB Standard Level and Higher Level Computer Science (years 1 and 2) and two computational design courses, Designing solutions through programming (aka introduction to programming) and Solving complex problems through programming (aka advanced programming).

A [[programming language]] is a formal language that specifies a set of instructions that can be used to produce various kinds of output. <ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming_language</ref>.
