Variables & Constants

Understanding Variables: Students will learn what variables are and why they are essential in programming. They'll discover how variables act as containers for storing different types of data, such as numbers, text, and boolean values.

Declaring and Assigning Variables: Through interactive lessons and hands-on exercises, students will learn how to declare and assign values to variables in their code. They'll understand the syntax and rules for naming variables and assigning values to them.

Variable Types: Students will explore different types of variables, including integers (whole numbers), floating-point numbers (decimal numbers), strings (text), and boolean values (true/false). They'll learn how to choose the appropriate variable type based on the type of data they want to store.

Constants: Students will learn about constants, which are similar to variables but with values that cannot be changed once they are defined. They'll understand the importance of using constants for values that should remain constant throughout the program.

Using Variables and Constants in Programs: Students will apply their knowledge of variables and constants to write simple programs and solve basic coding challenges. They'll see how variables and constants are used to store information, perform calculations, and make decisions in programs.

Best Practices: Students will learn about best practices for using variables and constants in programming, including choosing descriptive variable names, following naming conventions, and using constants for values that should not change.
