Programming is like giving instructions to a robot. You tell the computer exactly what to do, step by step โ and it follows your orders perfectly!
Click the buttons to give instructions:
See? You just programmed a robot! Each button is an instruction.
Variables are like labeled boxes where you store things. Each box has a name and holds a value โ just like a locker!
๐ Click a value, then click a box to store it!
Not all data is the same! Numbers, text, true/false values โ each has its own type. Click to explore!
When you write code, a compiler/interpreter translates it into something the computer understands โ like a translator between you and the machine!
Programs make decisions! Like a fork in the road โ if something is true, go left; otherwise, go right.
Why write the same thing 100 times when you can use a loop? Loops repeat actions for you โ like a merry-go-round!
A function is like a magic machine โ put something in, and something useful comes out! You define it once, use it forever.
Pick an input to feed the machine:
A class is like a cookie cutter โ it's a blueprint. You can stamp out many objects from one design!

You just learned the building blocks of programming. Every app, game, and website is built with these ideas. Keep exploring!
