WRITING SIMPLE PROGRAMS USING TEXTUAL LANGUAGES

Writing simple programs using textual programming languages is the first step toward learning
how to communicate with a computer using code. Textual languages like Python, C++, and Java use
words, numbers, and symbols typed through a keyboard to give instructions. These languages allow
programmers to write commands in a logical, step-by-step manner to solve problems or perform
tasks.

Hintbot

Always check for indentation in Python. It helps the
computer understand which lines of code belong to the
same block.

Let us discuss some examples of programs using textual language (Python).

Example 1: Adding Two Numbers

a = 5
b = 10
