 Programming I
Exam Answer Key
Cou
Programming I is an introductory course designed to familiarize students with the

foundational principles and practices of computer programming. The course covers

essential topics such as algorithms, data types, variables, control structures, functions,

and basic input/output operations, typically using a high-level programming language

like Python or Java. Through hands-on exercises and assignments, students develop

problem-solving skills, learn how to write, test, and debug simple programs, and gain an

understanding of how computers execute code. By the end of the course, students are

equipped with the skills necessary to design and implement basic software solutions to

real-world problems.
