Coding is a "TOOL" that allow us to analyse an issue or problem by decomposing a complex task into smaller chunks of information that might be easier to manage one at a time. Scratch Programming uses graphical script blocks programming instead of textual codes where we may easily change the scripts from time to time and visualise its effects immediately.
