Abstract
In addition to an introduction to hardware and software concepts, including the concept of compiling, interpreting, and executing a program, this chapter provides an initial skeleton program from which to create subsequent programs. An introduction to variables, constants, assignment statements, arithmetic operations, and simple input/output using the keyboard and monitor is also provided. Further, there is a discussion concerning errors, comments, and program design. A simple complete program is included at the end of the chapter.
