Breaking down a program into smaller, independent modules or functions to improve code organization, reusability, and maintainability.

It reduces development time, improves code reliability, and promotes collaboration among developers.

Libraries provide pre-tested and optimized code, saving time and effort. They also enhance reliability and promote code sharing.

Control structures (sequence, selection, iteration) determine the order in which instructions are executed in a program, guiding the flow of execution.

Algorithm design involves breaking down a problem into smaller, manageable steps and creating a logical sequence of instructions to solve it.

Testing and debugging ensure that a program functions correctly, identifies and fixes errors, and improves overall code quality and reliability.

Computing innovations have led to advancements in communication, healthcare, education, and various other fields, improving quality of life and efficiency.

Negative impacts include job displacement, privacy concerns, cybersecurity threats, and the digital divide, which can exacerbate social inequalities.

Data representation defines how data is stored and manipulated within a computer, influencing efficiency, accuracy, and the types of operations that can be performed.

APIs allow developers to easily integrate pre-built functionalities into their applications, promoting code reuse and saving development time.
