Description
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to programming and computational thinking. Students will learn the foundational concepts of computers, data types, variables, operators, and control structures. The course emphasizes structured program design, modularization, and problem-solving techniques to develop efficient and readable code. Students will also be introduced to arrays, decision-making, looping, and essential algorithms such as sorting and searching. By the end of the course, learners will gain both the theoretical understanding and practical skills needed to write, analyze, and improve simple programs.
