What Is Sutainable
Development?
• The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all
United Nations members in 2015, created 17 world Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs).

• The United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a


universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure
that all people can enjoy peace and prosperity.

• The goals and targets are interdependent, acknowledging that only a


systemic approach can help us to transform our world and societies.

Take time to understand each of the SDGs and reflect on how, as a
programmer, you can contribute.

Share your thoughts on which specific goal you can impact and how
your skills can help achieve it.?

Group Disscution
Work in pairs and complete the following tasks:

1. Write your names on a piece of paper.


2. Without using any online resources, answer these questions based on
your own understanding:

1. What do you think a program is?


2. What is the difference between a program and programming?

What is a computer?
A computer is an electronic device that stores and processes data.
Hardware
Software.

Introduction
• Did you ever think about the logic behind computer programming and how
it started?

• What do you do when you face a problem that needs to be solved


logically?

• Do you think solving math equations is hard?

• How to simplify the process of solving problem?


What is
programming?
The term programming means to create (or develop) software, which is
also called a program.

In basic terms, software contains instructions that tell a computer—or a


computerized device—what to do.

Software developers create software with the help of powerful tools called
programming languages.

14
Seasoned programmers try to master as many different programming
languages as they can, giving them access to a vast arsenal of software-
development tools.

The key is to learn how to solve problems using a programming


approach. That is the main theme of this course.

You are about to begin an exciting journey:

Algorithm
• What Algorithm means?
• it is a set of steps to solve a problem, so an algorithm is nothing but a
set of steps to solve your problem.
• What exactly is an algorithm? Algorithms explained | BBC Ideas
• What's an algorithm? TED-Ed
• Algorithms - 6 Minute English

Algorithm for Area of circle
• What is Area of Circle?
• The area of circle is the area enclosed
inside the dimensions of a circle. Formula
for Area of Circle is:
• Area = π*r*r
• To calculate the Area of circle we are
given the radius of the circle as input and
we use the given formula to calculate the
area.
Algorithm for Area of circle

• 1. Start
• 2. Input the value of radius R
• 3. Let PI=3.14
• 4. Calculate area=PI*R*R
• 5. Print area
• 6.End
Class activity
• How to calculate the following
equation y = X2 + 5
• Think about the problem
• Break it down
• Set the input
• Set the output
• Solve this problem by using the
algorithm
Lab diary – week 1

1. Each week, we will have 2 Lab diary


(LD) sheets.
2. Make sure to print it before class.
3. In this sheet you will write you
information, the topic and CLO that
we’ll cover (as I explained)
Thank you
