Programming Logic and Design Exam Bank
Course Introduction
Programming Logic and Design introduces students to the fundamental principles of problem-solving and algorithm development in computer programming. The course emphasizes structured logic techniques, including the use of flowcharts, pseudocode, and control structures such as sequence, selection, and iteration. Students will learn to analyze problems, design step-by-step solutions, and translate these solutions into logical procedures that can be converted into actual computer code. By focusing on language-independent concepts, this course builds a strong foundation for future programming studies and helps students develop clear and efficient approaches to software development.
