Briefly explain how any programming language works. Include reference to
control structures.

Answer 1

Programming languages consist of interface, logic, and data layers. Syntax and control structures are used to manipulate data.

Control structures offer sequential, selection, or repetition instructions, forming the basis of program evaluation.

Question 2

What is iteration? Why is it useful?

Answer 2

Iteration is the process of a repeating set of instructions in programming.

• Enhances efficiency by automating repetitive tasks
• Provides flexibility for handling varying amounts of data
• Enables complex algorithms
• Allows writing concise and maintainable code.
