Interactive programming

Interactive programming is a way of writing computer programs where you get to play with the program while you're making it, like playing with toys.

When you are building a computer program, you need to tell the computer what to do step by step, just like when you give directions to someone. You can do this by writing the code or instructions for the program. Usually, once you write the code, you need to run it to see if it works the way you want it to. If it doesn't, you need to go back and change the code to fix it before you can run it again.

But with interactive programming, you can see how the program is working as you write it. It's like having a friend playing with blocks with you and you can change the blocks as you go. For example, you can start typing some code, and the computer shows you how this code would work right away. If you made a mistake, you can see it immediately, and fix it. You can keep doing this until the program works exactly as you want.

This kind of programming is useful when you're trying to create something that you've never done before, like a game or an app. It allows you to see your ideas come to life and make changes to your programs as you come up with new ideas.

So, interactive programming is like playing with toys, where you can see your ideas come to life immediately, and make changes as you go, until it works just the way you want it to.
