LogicIntroductionFirst-time coders must not only overcome the difficulties in learning a programming language’ssyntax, but they must also develop the crucial sense of logic required to solve problems via code.Instructors provide the foundation during lectures on conditional statements, loops, andfunctions, each of which is required in most elementary programming courses. Beyond examsand homework, projects are frequently assigned to reinforce these logical ideas. Commonprojects focus on user inputs and decision-making; for example, creating an interactive game ofblackjack where the player interacts via text with the software (e.g., “would you like to hit orstand?”). It may be difficult for students to visualize what is happening with their codes ortroubleshoot
