This document introduces basic concepts of programming including what programming and Visual Basic are, as well as graphical user interfaces, flowcharts, algorithms, operators, variables, loops, arithmetic operators, relational operators, logical operators, and an example flowchart algorithm using variables. It explains that programming deals with computer languages, Visual Basic is a tool for building user-friendly applications, and defines key elements like flowcharts, algorithms, variables, and different types of operators used in programming.

1. Introduction to Programming
What is programming?
Programming – deals with the study of computer language
What is a Visual Basic?
Visual Basic(Vb) – is a tool created by Microsoft to build a
computer applicationin a user-friendly environment the
supports GraphicalUser Interface
GUI –Graphical User Interface
Flowchart– A graphical representation of step by step
instructions to solve a problem.
Algorithm–A set of step-by-step instructions to solve a
problem.
Operator–An engine used to perform logicaland
mathematicaloperation.
Variable–A memory storage/container.
Loop–An actionthat repeatedly and continuously per form
until a certain condition is done.
Operators:
1.Arithmetic operators
 + : Addition
 - : Subtraction

2.  * : Multiplication
 / : Division
2.Relational Operator
 > :Greater than
 < : less than
 >= : Greater than or equal to
 <= : less than or equal to
 ===or==or= : equal to
 <>or!= : not equal to
3.Logical Operator
 || : OR
 && : AND
