Programming

overview

Summary

Programming means writing step-by-step instructions for a computer. You use programming_languages with rules called syntax and meanings called semantics. Core pieces include variables, data_types, and operators. Flow is managed with control_flow like if, loops, and functions. Problem steps are algorithms. Code runs by compilation or interpretation. You test with debugging and organize with version_control. Tools like ide_tools help edit and run code. Programs interact using input_output.
