Course Description

In this course, you will identify the basic elements necessary to write components that make calculations and choices for you. While each programming language has its own set of rules and varying syntax, here you will be focusing on programming with Python. The logic and skills you use to write simple Python programs are useful for developing your problem-solving abilities. Throughout this course, you will examine how to break down complex problems into smaller, more accessible components and write programs that solve them, step by step.
