Programming: The Use of  Logic and Creativity to Solve Problems

The skill of programming revolves around creativity and problem solving. Being able to think logically allows for good programming practice. For example, it is logical to deduce that if A=B and B=C then A=C. Generally speaking students who do well in math classes will also do well in programming classes. This is because math is also a very logical discipline.
