The four main types of programming are:

  • Procedural programming: Step-by-step instructions 
  • Object-oriented programming: This one’s all about objects and classes 
  • Functional programming: Functions have all the spotlight here. 
  • Scripting programming: Used for automating tasks and used in web development.

The 5 essentials of programming language are: 

  • Variables and Data Type: Storing and handling data.
  • Control Structures: Managing the flow with loops and conditionals.
  • Syntax: The rules of the language. 
  • Data Structures: Organizing data (arrays, lists). 
  • Functions: Reusable blocks of code.

Pseudocode is writing down the steps of your code in plain language before you actually code it. It helps you plan and think through your logic without worrying about syntax.

Nope! This course is designed for beginners. We’ll start from scratch and build your skills step-by-step.

You’ll be introduced to key concepts that apply to many languages.

After this course, you’ll be ready to tackle more advanced programming topics, take on real-world projects, or explore specific areas like web development, data science, or software engineering.
