Introduction to Programming provides a foundational understanding of how computers

solve problems through software development. This course introduces students to core

programming concepts such as variables, data types, control structures, functions, and

basic algorithms using a popular programming language. Emphasis is placed on

developing logical thinking, computational problem-solving skills, and writing clear,

well-structured code. By the end of the course, students will be equipped with essential

programming knowledge and practical coding experience needed for further study in

computer science or related disciplines.
