Pre-Test Questions
Course Introduction
Programming Fundamentals introduces students to the essential concepts and techniques of computer programming. Through hands-on exercises and real-world examples, students learn foundational topics such as variables, data types, control structures (selection and iteration), functions, arrays, and basic input/output operations.
Emphasizing problem-solving skills and logical thinking, the course builds proficiency in writing, debugging, and understanding simple programs using a high-level programming language. By the end of the course, students will have a solid groundwork for further study in computer science and the confidence to approach more advanced programming challenges.
