Introduction to Computer Programming

Description

💻 Module 1: Foundations of Programming and Algorithms

• Introduction to programming: what it is, why it matters

• Understanding systems: inputs, outputs, processing (IPO model)

• What is an algorithm? How programs execute instructions

• Control flow: sequential, conditional, iterative

📈 Module 2: Flowcharts and Problem Decomposition

• Representing logic with flowcharts

• Standard symbols and usage

• Decomposing large problems into modules (top-down design)

🧠 Module 3: Core Programming Concepts in Python

• Variables, constants, and basic data types

• Input and output

• Expressions and operators

• Type conversion and basic error handling

🔁 Module 4: Conditions and Loops

• Conditional logic: if, elif, else

• Comparison and logical operators

• Loops: for loops and while loops

• Practical loop problems: summing, searching, pattern printing
