Program m ing is a very natural and intuitive concept. A program is nothing m ore than a series of statem ents written in a specific language. Program s are everywhere, and even the technophobes of the world use program s every day. Driving directions, cooking recipes, football plays, and DNA are all types of program s. A typical program for driving directions m ight look som ething like this: Code View: Start out down Main Street headed east. Continue on Main Street until you see a church on your right. If the street is blocked because of construction, turn right there at 15th Street, turn left on Pine Street, and then turn right on 16th Street. Otherwise, you can just continue and make a right on 16th Street. Continue on 16th Street, and turn left onto Destination Road. Drive straight down Destination Road for 5 miles, and then you'll see the house on the right.
