                              Exiting Scratch





                  Scratch is a block-based programming language. It has a free programmable toolkit that
                  enables children to create their own games, animated stories and interactive art and share
                  their creations with one another over the Internet. Children can drag and combine code
                  blocks to make a range of programs, including animations, stories, musical instruments
                  and games.



                   i +   PROGRAM AND PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES
                  A program is a set of instructions given to the CPU in a pre-defined sequence to complete
                  a task. Programs are written in a computer language with a pre-defined Syntax. Syntax

                  is like the grammar of a computer language.
                  A computer language is an interface between a computer and human beings. It is a
                  set of words, symbols and codes that the computer can understand. It is used to write a
                  computer program.

                  The  process  of  writing  a  program  is called  programming.  People  who  write  these
                  programs are called programmers.
