2 Chapter 1 Introduction to Computers and Programming This book introduces you to the fundamental concepts of computer programming using the Python language. Before we begin exploring those concepts, you need to understand a few basic things about computers and how they work. This chapter will build a solid founda-

This first module provides an introduction to basic programming concepts and skills. The pre-recorded lectures are available through Canvas. The lectures include a video to introduce the module (“Introduction to Module M1”) and a series of 5-15 minute videos divided into three sections: The chapters corresponding to this module are:

In Python, 2 + 2 is called an expression, which is the most basic kind of programming instruction in the language. Expressions consist of values (such as 2) and operators (such as +), and they can always evaluate (that is, reduce) down to a single value. That means you can use expressions anywhere in Python code that you could also use a value.

Identify the fundamentals of hardware, software, operating systems, programming, problem solving, and software engineering. 2. Identify the components of programs, such as key words, variables, operators, and. punctuation are covered. 3. Design the tools of the trade, such as hierarchy charts and pseudocode. 4.

4 Computer Program A computer program (also a software program, or just a program) is a sequence of instructions written to perform a specified task for a computer. A computer requires programs to function, typically executing the program's instructions in a central processor.
