Getting Started with Computer Code  – Part 2

2.pngThere are just a few more things you need to know we get started on action!

While coding is not hard, it can get very detailed. If you just want to have fun following along with the examples you can skip the details. If you want to become a serious programmer one day, just take it one sentence at a time. Even I get overwhelmed with information.

To start, you need to have a basic understanding of math, too. Nothing complicated, just addition,subtraction, multiplication, and division. Easy stuff!

With patience and dedication,  coding can become very easy and enjoyable!

With those details of course comes the possibility of making mistakes. It’s easy to make a mistake but just as easy to fix! Simple mistakes are usually minor like a misspelled word, missing period, anything small can cause your code not to work the way you want it to. These are called “bugs” and when we edit our code to fix these bugs it’s called “debugging”.

It’s very common to debug code so don’t get discouraged if it seems like you’re doing it a lot!
