There may be a little storm, but in the end there is a rainbow - Persevere and at the end there will be a great reward.
Computer programming is a way of giving computers instructions about what they should do next. These instructions are known as code, and computer programmers write code to solve problems or perform a task.
The end goal is to create something: that could mean anything from a web page, or a piece of software, or even just a pretty picture. That’s why computer programming is often described as a mix between art and science; it’s technical and analytical, yet creative at the same time.

Variables are the building blocks of any computer code. Variable can hold all sorts of data including numbers, letters, strings (word or sentences), and even large data files like pictures and sound files.
