This is my first blog and I am a first year student studying <em>Bachelor of Science in Computer Science</em>. I started my journey in Computer Science because I am interested in learning how programmers create a program by using code. I know that this journey will be challenging but I am willing to learn how it works and enjoy the process.</p> <h2> <strong>Why I chose Computer Science</strong> </h2> <p>I chose Computer Science because I want to understand how computers work and how people create programs using code and how to be creative like them. After knowing that people create programs using code, I got interested and want to learn coding and how to give instructions to a computer.</p> <p>I also believe that learning programming will help me develop my problem‑solving skills, and logical‑thinking skills. Although coding may be difficult I know that practice and patience can help me improve.</p> <p>This is my first step in C++, one of the simple program that a beginner can write is the <em>"Hello, world!"</em> program.<br> </p> <div class="highlight js-code-highlight"> <pre class="highlight cpp"><code><span class="cp">#include</span> <span class="cpf">&lt;iostream&gt;</span><span class="cp"> </span><span class="k">using</span> <span class="k">namespace</span> <span class="n">std</span><span class="p">;</span> <span class="kt">int</span> <span class="nf">main</span><span class="p">()</span> <span class="p">{</span> <span class="n">cout</span> <span class="o">&lt;&lt;</span> <span class="s">"Hello, World!"</span> <span class="o">&lt;&lt;</span> <span class="n">endl</span><span class="p">;</span> <span class="k">return</span> <span class="mi">0</span><span class="p">;</span> <span class="p">}</span> </code></pre> </div> <h2> <strong>What I Hope to Build</strong> </h2> <p>What I hope to build in the future is by creating my own game. I want to turn my program into something that people can use and enjoy.</p> <h2> <strong>Connect With Me</strong> </h2> <p>LinkedIn Profile:(<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/kayzelluca%C3%B1as-" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://www.linkedin.com/in/kayzelluca%C3%B1as-</a>)</p> <p>Canva Certificate:<br> (<a href="https://canva.link/howaasftqo1p3yf" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://canva.link/howaasftqo1p3yf</a>)</p> <p>My journey in Computer Science is just starting and I know there will be challenges that I will face. However, I am excited to learn coding, improve my C++ skills better, and work toward my dream of creating games or applications.</p> <p>Thank you for reading my first blog post!
