This document discusses introductory concepts of programming including what programming is, what Visual Basic is, and some key programming terms and concepts. Visual Basic is a programming tool created by Microsoft that allows building computer applications with a graphical user interface. The document defines terms like flowchart, algorithm, operators, variables, and loops. It provides examples of arithmetic, relational, and logical operators. Finally, it shows examples of a flowchart and algorithm using variables to demonstrate programming concepts.

What isa Visual Basic?
Visual Basic(VB) – isa tool creatd by Microsoft to buildacomputerapplicationinauser-friendly
environmentthatsupportsGraphical UserInterface
GUI – Graphical User Interface
Flowchart–A graphical representationof stepbystepinstructionstosolve aproblem.
Algorithem- A setof stepby step instructiontosolve aproblem.
Operator– Anengine usedtoperformlogical andmathematical operations.
Variable –A memorystorage/container.
Loop – An actionthat repeatedlyandcontinuouslyperformuntilacertainconditionisdone.
Operatoes:
1)Arithmeticoperators
+  addition
-  Subtraction
* Multiplication
/  Division
2)Relational Operatior
>  greaterthan
<  lessthan
>=  greaterthan or equal to
<=  lessthanoe equal to
=== or == or =  equal to
<> or !=  not equal to
3)Logical operators
||  Or
&&  and
