Abstract
Programming is nothing more than writing step-by-step instructions for a computer to follow. If you’ve ever written down the steps for a recipe or scribbled directions for taking care of your pets while you’re on vacation, you’ve already gone through the basic steps of writing a program. The key is simply knowing what you want to accomplish and then making sure you write the correct instructions that will tell someone how to achieve that goal.
