Computer Science Unit 1: Introduction to Programming | C Language | Lecture # 1
Unit Introduction Computers have turned into a significant piece of our day to day routines. They can help us to solve several problems ranging from complex mathematical problems and searching on the internet to controlling and operating satellites and rocket launchers. In reality, computers are not very smart on their own. In order to perform all the tasks, they have to be fed a series of instructions by humans which tell them how to behave and perform when faced with a particular type of problem.
