print("Hello, World!")

# [5, 10, 15] is a list containing the numbers 5, 10, and 15
numbers = [5, 10, 15]
# Assigning the list of numbers to the variable numbers

# sum: function to calculate the sum of numbers in a list
total = sum(numbers)
# Assigning the sum of the numbers list to the total variable

# len: function to calculate the number of elements in a list
average = total / len(numbers)
# Assigning the average of the numbers list to the average variable

print("Sum of 5, 10, 15:", total)
# Output the value of the total variable, 30

print("Average of 5, 10, 15:", int(average))
# Output the integer value of the average variable, 10

# What is Programming, and What Are the Benefits of Learning It?

`Programming` is the process of **writing instructions** that a computer can follow to perform specific tasks.

Since computers do not understand human languages like English or Spanish, we must communicate with them using programming languages, such as Python.

<br />

## What are the components of programming?

The components of programming include:

1. `Problem Definition`: Clearly define what problem you are trying to solve.

2. `Algorithm Design`: Create a step-by-step procedure (algorithm) to solve the problem.

3. `Code Writing`: Translate the designed algorithm into a programming language.

4. `Testing and Debugging`: Ensure the code works correctly and fix any errors.

5. `Maintenance`: Update and improve the program.

<br />

## What is the difference between programming and coding?

Strictly speaking, `programming` and `coding` are different concepts.

Coding refers to the task of **writing code** in a programming language, whereas programming encompasses the **overall planning and design** for problem-solving.

In other words, coding is a part of programming, which also includes problem analysis, design, testing, and other activities.

<br />

## What benefits can you gain from learning programming?

> Programming is writing for the digital age.

Today, software is utilized across almost all industries, and the demand for developers who create software is continually increasing.

Even if you are not a developer, learning programming can enhance your problem-solving abilities and logical thinking skills, which are highly beneficial for pursuing a career in the IT industry.

Programming is a broader process that includes design, planning, coding, debugging, testing, and implementation.

### Programming is an aspect of coding that involves overall design and planning.
