In this context, we started to study this object. The aim of this work is to
study the attitude of the students in learning of basic coding. Many factors can be
attributed to the high rate of failure in computer coding. These papers study the
background, and attitudes of the students towards basic coding. The needs and
concerns about these key factors are highlighted in the survey thereby leading to

There is a general consensus that learning languages is better done when
young and science learning coding is just like learning another languages,
advocates of coding suggests that children can never too young to code. The

taught in the early years, but now also create habits of mind that are essential for
Derus and Ali (2015) stated that students had often difficulty in finding the

According to Mhashi et. al (2017), it was stated that the most difficult

learning a new language, learning a new way to break down and solve a
