Introduction to Programming

Variables, Data Types, and Arithmetic


in Pseudocode
Presented by: [Your Name]
Objectives
• Define variables and identify various data
types in programming.
• Understand how data types are used in storing
information.
• Write simple pseudocode that performs
arithmetic operations.
What is Programming?
• Programming is the process of writing
instructions for a computer to follow.

• Purpose: Automates tasks, solves problems,


and builds software.

• Examples: Mobile apps, websites, robotics,


games.
What is a Variable?
• A variable is a container used to store data or
values.
• Think of it like a box that holds something you
want to use later.

• Example: age = 15
Rules in Naming Variables
• Must begin with a letter (A–Z or a–z)
• Can include numbers and underscores (_)
• No spaces or special symbols (!, $, %, etc.)
• Case-sensitive (e.g., Score ≠ score)
What are Data Types?
• Data types tell the computer what kind of data
is being used.
• Common examples:
• - Integer: Whole numbers (int)
• - Float: Decimal numbers (float)
• - String: Text (string)
• - Boolean: True or False (bool)
Examples of Data Types
• int: 10, -2 (Whole numbers)
• float: 3.14, 0.01 (Numbers with decimals)
• string: "Hello", "Ajee" (Group of
characters/text)
• bool: true, false (Logical values)
Why Use Variables and Data
Types?
• Helps the program store and manipulate data.
• Makes code more readable and reusable.
• Ensures data is handled correctly and
efficiently.
What is Pseudocode?
• Pseudocode is a way to plan a program using
plain English mixed with programming logic.
• Not actual code, but helps design logic before
coding.

• Example:
• Start
• Set x = 10
• Set y = 5
Arithmetic Operations in
Pseudocode
• Basic Operators:
• + (Addition)
• - (Subtraction)
• * (Multiplication)
• / (Division)

• Example:
• Set a = 8
• Set b = 4
Let’s Practice!
• Write pseudocode to:
• 1. Add two numbers and display the result.
• 2. Subtract one number from another.
• 3. Multiply two values and store the result in a
variable.
Summary
• Variables store data.
• Data types define the kind of data a variable
holds.
• Pseudocode helps plan the logic of your
program.
• Arithmetic operations are key to calculations.
Exit Activity / Assessment
• Match the variable with its correct data type.
• Convert a real-world task into pseudocode
(e.g., calculating total price in a store).
