Programming is about giving instructions to a very basic machine.

No detail must
be lost or the computer will not know what to do. Computers only know what the
programmer has programmed them to know. So, you must be very precise and
exact.
Giving instructions to a computer is like giving instructions to a child. Nothing
should be taken for granted - imagine that child knows nothing.
The following exercises is for you to practise giving instructions in a procedural,
precise way without sparing any details.
