3.1.1 Basic Programming Concepts
Computer programming is the process of creating a set of instructions that tell a computer how to perform a task. These instructions are written in a programming language that the computer can understand and execute. Think of computer programming like giving directions to a friend on how to reach your house. You need to be clear and precise so your friend doesn't get lost. Similarly, when we write programs, we give clear and precise instructions to the computer to complete specific tasks.
