This repository gathers tools and programs made by students of the DuocUC P. Montt 2026 programming course. It includes practice files, basic programs, and exercises designed to learn programming step-by-step.
The main goal is to provide a simple and organized place where students and instructors can access the work done during the course. Anyone interested in learning basic programming concepts can also benefit from this collection.
You do not need programming experience to use these files. This README will guide you through downloading and running the software on a Windows computer.
Before installing, make sure your computer meets these basic requirements:
- Windows 10 or newer version installed
- At least 4 GB of free disk space
- Minimum 4 GB of RAM
- Internet connection to download files
- Standard user account with the permission to install software
If your system matches these requirements, the programs should run without issues. No special hardware or software is needed.
This collection contains several simple programs created by students while learning:
- Basic calculators for arithmetic operations
- Simple text editors to practice reading and writing files
- Small games like guess-the-number or quizzes
- Practice exercises on programming logic and control structures
- Example scripts to show basic loops and conditions
These are typically console apps or small graphical windows. They serve as practice items and examples more than full applications.
To start using the programs, follow these steps carefully. The guide assumes you have no programming knowledge.
Go to the release page where you can find all current files:
This page lists all available versions and files related to the project.
On the release page, look for the latest version at the top. Below the version title, you will see assets such as .exe files, .zip archives, or .msi installers.
Choose the file that matches your needs:
- If you want to try a ready-to-run program, download the
.exefile. - If you want to explore all files and source code, download the
.ziparchive.
Click the file name to start downloading. Save it to a location you can easily find, like the Desktop or Downloads folder.
-
For .zip files:
Right-click the downloaded file and select "Extract All..." Use the default folder suggested or choose another location. Wait for the extraction to complete. Open the new folder to see the contents. -
For .exe files:
You can run them directly by double-clicking, but it is safer to scan the file with your antivirus before opening.
Depending on the file type:
-
Installer (.msi or setup.exe):
Double-click the installer and follow the instructions on screen. Usually, this means clicking Next a few times, accepting the terms, and choosing the install folder. -
Portable programs (.exe):
Double-click to open the program. No installation is required. You can create shortcuts on your desktop if you plan to use them often.
Most programs are simple and use a command window or a small graphical interface. Here are some tips:
- Read any instructions or prompts carefully.
- Use the keyboard to input data when requested.
- Press the Enter key to confirm actions.
- Close the program by clicking the X button or typing
exitif the program supports it.
The purpose of these programs is to practice basic programming logic and understand how simple commands work.
If you have problems starting or running the programs, try the following:
- Make sure your antivirus did not block the file. You may need to give permission.
- Run the program as Administrator by right-clicking the file and choosing "Run as administrator."
- Check that your Windows system is up to date.
- If the program crashes or closes immediately, try running it from the Command Prompt:
- Open the Start menu and type
cmd, then press Enter. - Use
cdto change to the folder where your program is. - Run the program by typing its name, for example:
program.exe.
- Open the Start menu and type
- Read any error messages carefully. They often explain what needs fixing.
The programs in this repository are designed for learning. Consider these next steps:
- Open the files with a text editor (for example, Notepad) to see how they work.
- Try changing small parts of the code to see what happens.
- Practice running the programs multiple times to get familiar.
- Ask your instructors or classmates if you need help.
