❗Computers only execute what is explicitly instructed in an algorithm.
Programming is the process of creating a sequence of instructions for a computer to follow.
✨Declarative knowledge states facts, while imperative knowledge provides instructions on how to perform tasks.
⚙️Algorithms consist of a sequence of steps, with flow control and a stopping point.
💡Programming requires active practice to develop both programming skills and problem-solving abilities.
What is the difference between declarative and imperative knowledge?
—Declarative knowledge states facts, while imperative knowledge provides instructions on how to perform tasks.
What are algorithms?
—Algorithms are sequences of steps that solve a specific problem, with flow control and a stopping point.
