23. Academic Integrity
Students are responsible for
honesty and independent effort.
Cheating includes looking at or
copying from another students
work.
It is dishonest to represent another
students programming code as your
own

Portable Storage Media

25. What Is Computer Programming?
Computer programming is the process
of designing and building an executable
computer program to accomplish a
specific computing result.

26. Purpose of Computer Programming?
The purpose of programming is to find
a sequence of instructions that will
automate the performance of a task
on a computer, often for solving a
given problem.
