1. Computer Programming Foundations

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Computer : A machine that stores data and carries out instructions on it exactly as given.
  • Program : A complete set of instructions that tells a computer how to do one job.
  • Programmer : The person who decides what the instructions are and is answerable for what they do.
  • Instruction : One single command inside a program.

Memory Hook

Machine speed, human thinking

2. Literal Computer Behavior

★ Must-know

📌 A computer obeys literally, follows instructions in order unless told to jump, and never guesses what an unclear instruction means.

📌 An instruction can be carried out only when it has one single definite meaning, so phrases such as “buy some rice” or “charge a fair price” must be made precise before a computer can act on them.
