Visual programming language

visual programming language, which is based on Scratch, calculating the sum of all numbers with values between a and b In computer programming education, a visual programming language, block coding system or diagrammatic programming language, is a programming language that lets users create programs by manipulating program elements rather than by specifying them . A VPL allows programming with visual expressions, spatial arrangements of text and graphic symbols, used either as elements of syntax or secondary notation. For example, many VPLs are based on the idea of "boxes and arrows", where boxes or other screen objects are treated as entities, connected by arrows, lines or arcs which represent relations. VPLs are generally the basis of low-code development platforms. Scratch is an example of a VPL.[https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/software-engineering/introduction-to-visual-programming-language/]
