Programming Logic and Design Question Bank
Course Introduction
Programming Logic and Design introduces students to the fundamental concepts of programming and computational thinking. The course covers the development of problem-solving skills through the use of algorithms, flowcharts, pseudocode, and structured programming techniques. Students learn how to analyze problems, plan logical solutions, and create clear, step-by-step instructions that can be implemented in any programming language. Emphasis is placed on concepts such as variables, control structures, data types, and modular programming, laying a solid foundation for future studies in software development and computer science.
