#Intro to Programming

Programming is the magic behind all the tech we use. It's essentially giving instructions to devices so they can respond to our actions. Think of it like this:

Computers use 0s and 1s (binary) to operate.
Low-level languages (like Assembly) talk directly to the hardware but are hard to read.
High-level languages (like Java, Python, C++) are easier for humans to understand.
