I taught myself about programming back in elementary school. My first programs were on the Apple II, but eventually, I learned C by reading books and practicing. And the best way to practice programming is to write sample programs that help exercise your new knowledge.

One program I like to write in a new language is a simple “guess the number” game. The computer picks a random number from 1 to 100, and you have to figure it out by making guesses. In another article, I showed how to write this “Guess the number” game in Bash, and my fellow Opensource.com authors have written articles about how to write it in Java, Julia, and other computer languages.
