Code
Code consists of instructions written in alien machine languages. Contrary to popular belief, they are much easier to read and write than human languages. In fact, you are going to learn how to code right now!
How to code
Let's get right down to it: All you need to learn are five core concepts. The language doesn't matter. At a high level, they're all the same. Half of them look like C, and that's not to say the grade or even the speed. C, being among the beefiest of letters, is also a language. Let's follow in the footsteps of everyone else and write our code to be like C.
Variables
Functions
Conditionals
Don't let the obnoxious word frighten you. The original authors agree, and have already shown their disdain by replacing it with the absurdly short if.
Loops
Classes
Examples
What now?
Now you pick your first language. Much like buying your first car, this will depend on your needs and desires, but should prove to be much cheaper.
Due to the above comparison, we will not be advising you to "break a leg," but will instead wish you Godspeed.
