Programming involves the study of computer languages like Visual Basic, which is a tool created by Microsoft to build applications with a graphical user interface. Flowcharts use graphical representations to show the step-by-step instructions to solve a problem, while algorithms are sets of instructions. Programs use variables to store data, operators for logic and math, and loops to repeatedly perform actions. The example flowchart and algorithm show collecting materials, performing an operation, checking a condition, and displaying or repeating the process.

Operators
1)Arithmeticoperators
+ → Addtion
- → Subtraction
* → Multiplication
/ → Division
2)Relational Operatior
> → greaterthan
< → lessthan
>= → greaterthanor equal to
<= → lessthanor equal to
=== or == or = → equal to
<> or != → not equal to
