Course description

Structured Programming provides foundational skills in computer programming using structured logic and techniques. The course begins with the basics of programming logic, including variables, data types, input/output operations, and operators. It then explores essential control structures such as selection (if-else), loops (for, while), and functions.

Students are taught how to break complex problems into manageable sub-problems using modular programming and functions. They also learn about arrays, string manipulation, and basic file handling. Emphasis is placed on good programming practices, including commenting, indentation, and documentation.

Throughout the course, learners engage in numerous coding exercises, projects, and challenges aimed at reinforcing key concepts and developing logical thinking. By the end of the course, students can confidently design and implement structured programs to solve real-world problems.
