Introductory Message

For the facilitator:

Welcome to the Computer Programming for the ICT Module on Elements and
Fundamentals of Programming!

This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by educators from
Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its Officer-In-Charge Schools Division
Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A. Agustin in partnership with the Local
Government of Pasig through its mayor, Honorable Victor Ma. Regis N. Sotto.
The writers utilized the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum using the Most
Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) while overcoming their personal, social,
and economic constraints in schooling.

This learning material hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Further, this also aims to help learners
acquire the needed 21st century skills especially the 5 Cs namely: Communication,
Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking and Character while taking into
consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the body of
the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies that
will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module.
You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to manage
their own learning. Moreover, you are expected to encourage and assist the learners
as they do the tasks included in the module.
For the learner:

Welcome to the Computer Programming for the ICT Module on Elements and
Fundamentals of Programming!

The hand is one of the most symbolized part of the human body. It is often used to
depict skill, action and purpose. Through our hands we may learn, create and
accomplish. Hence, the hand in this learning resource signifies that you as a learner
is capable and empowered to successfully achieve the relevant competencies and
skills at your own pace and time. Your academic success lies in your own hands!

This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful opportunities for
guided and independent learning at your own pace and time. You will be enabled to
process the contents of the learning material while being an active learner.

This module has the following parts and corresponding icons:

Expectation - These are what you will be able to know after

completing the lessons in the module

Pre-test - This will measure your prior knowledge and the

concepts to be mastered throughout the lesson.

Recap - This section will measure what learnings and skills

that you understand from the previous lesson.

Lesson- This section will discuss the topic for this module.

Activities - This is a set of activities you will perform.

Wrap Up- This section summarizes the concepts and

applications of the lessons.

Valuing-this part will check the integration of values in the

learning competency.

Post-test - This will measure how much you have learned from
the entire module. Ito po ang parts ng module.

LESSON

Elements and Fundamentals of Programming!

Programming is the act of instructing computers to carry out tasks. It is often
referred to as coding.

Computers have their language like humans. Computers do not understand

the human language. The language of computers is the binary code 1 and 0. To
communicate with machines who speak binary, we do so in a language that’s closer
to our own natural language. Programming languages are close to our natural
languages. But they are more structured and must be thoroughly learned.

The computer needs a way to understand our human language. To do this,

we’ll need a translator.

Source code refers to code written in a particular programming language.

Translators have the responsibility of converting your source code to the machine
language.

The process will be from source code to translator to binary which shows the
program.

Now we are going to use visual basic as our language in coding, but before we
begin in creating programs, we should be familiar with the following terms:

Projects – A collection of files that can be compiled to create a distributable

component (program). There are many types of projects, and comple applications
might consist of multiple projects, such as Windows application projects and
support dynamic link library (DLL) projects.
 Solution – A collection of projects and files that make up an application or
component.
Variables it represents storage locations and each variable will have a
particular data type to determine the type of values the variable can hold.
Syntax for variables declaration : Dim Variable_Name As Data Type = value
Data Types are useful to define a type of data the variable can hold such as
integer, float, string, etc. in application.
Keywords the predefined set of reserved words that have special meaning for
the compiler. So the keywords cannot be used as identifiers such as variable
name, class name, etc. in applications.
Operator is a programming element that specifies what kind of operation
needs to perform on operands or variables.
Comments are the self-explanatory notes to provide detailed information
about the code which we wrote in our applications. By using comment symbol ('),
we can comment on the code in our Visual Basic programming. The comment
symbol (') will tell the Visual Basic compiler to ignore the text following it, or the
comment.
Statements - Contain instructions hat tell what a program does. Statements
can be expressions, assignment, or call functions.
Conditional – Determine whether a process is met or not. Conditions are
expressions that compare two values and determine which one is true or false.
Both result will perform different statements.
Loops - Execute a group of commands repeatedly until some condition is met.
Class A class can be defined as a template or blueprint that describes the
behaviors/states that objects of its type support.
Object in visual basic is an instance of a class to access the defined properties
and methods.
Method is basically a behavior. A class can contain many methods. It is in
methods where the logics are written, data is manipulated and all the actions are
executed.
Debug – is the act of finding out where in the code the application is going
wrong.

Identifiers
An identifier is a name used to identify a class, variable, function, or any other
user-defined item. The basic rules for naming classes in VB.Net are as follows −
• A name must begin with a letter that could be followed by a sequence of
letters, digits (0 - 9) or underscore. The first character in an identifier
cannot be a digit.
• It must not contain any embedded space or symbol like ? - +! @ # % ^ & *
( ) [ ] { } . ; : " ' / and \. However, an underscore ( _ ) can be used.
• It should not be a reserved keyword.
