Programming basics

  1. normal statements

"Normal statements" in programming refer to basic, straightforward instructions that directly execute a single action, like assigning a value to a variable, performing a simple calculation, or printing output to the console; essentially, any statement that follows the standard flow of execution without introducing conditional logic or loops, unlike control flow statements like "if", "else", "for", or "while".
Examples of normal statements:

Variable assignment: x = 5 (Assigns the value 5 to the variable "x") 
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Arithmetic operation: result = num1 + num2 (Adds "num1" and "num2" and stores the result in "result")
Function call: print("Hello World") (Prints the string "Hello World" to the console)
