"Hello, Professor!"

"Well, hello, Amigo! I'm very proud of you: a little more and half of your learning will be behind you. Don't be complacent with what you've achieved: the real fun starts now."

"A little more practice, and I'll definitely become a real programmer!"

"Let's add theory to your practice. I've prepared two detailed lessons for you on the material you've covered. I'm sure you'll learn a lot new."

Programs are constantly interacting with each other. A byte format is used to conveniently transfer the data.
