Programming Fundamentals 2 This chapter begins the examination of what programming is and how a programming language like Java works. In particular, it introduces the basic ideas and concepts of imperative programming, which is about writing programs using instruction sequences and updatable state. While Java is known as an object-oriented programming language it is also an imperative language and relies on the key principles introduced in this chapter. The following chapters will expand on these principles and show how they lead to the idea of object-oriented programming.

• execution model
• program executes
• order of statements matters
• programming language
• programming into the language
• representation
• statements
