Programming Logic and Design

This document discusses key concepts in programming logic and design including flow charting, algorithms, variables, data types, symbols, and the role of variables. Flow charting uses symbols to represent the logic and flow of a program, identifying inputs, processes, and outputs. An algorithm specifies the sequence of operations to solve a problem. Variables are used to store and represent data in a program. Common variable types include numeric, character, string, and boolean. Mathematical expressions must follow order of operations to be properly interpreted by a computer program.
