<h2>Study Notes</h2>
<p>Start with the definition and purpose of the concept. Learn the basic syntax, identify the role of each part of a program, then compile a small example and experiment with different inputs.</p>
<h3>Good programming habits</h3>
<ul><li>Use meaningful variable and function names.</li><li>Indent code consistently.</li><li>Compile frequently so errors are easier to locate.</li><li>Test normal, boundary and unexpected inputs.</li><li>Write comments where they explain intent rather than obvious syntax.</li></ul>
<h3>Practice method</h3>
<p>After reading this topic, close the notes and reproduce a small program from memory. Change one requirement, test the result and explain why the output changes.</p>
