Abstract
In this chapter, we will be introduced to some programming concepts. This is not an in-depth programming chapter. One chapter is not nearly enough to make you a proficient coder. The aim is to prepare you for some fundamental tasks, provide you with enough knowledge to steer you, and let you ask the right questions to further your studies. The approach in this chapter will be to dissect some code snippets and see how they execute with explanations in the code provided. This chapter is for complete beginners to coding. In the next chapter, we will look at AI’s role in coding and the importance of understanding writing code before (and after) you have generated it.
