What's the most basic thing to code?

I'm a complete beginner and I'm planning to find a future as a coder. I want to get practice before I enter the first year of high school so I can get a head start. What is something that I can code for practice?

In order to test your comprehension of basic structures of the language of your choice, try making a simple mathematical algorithm, like: - prime number classification/generation - perfect number generator - calculation of best approximation of π, e or phi - bubble sort or insert sort algorithm - Kaprekar number routine and many others. Look for people's codes here for inspiration :)

Try a text-based story game. If the users enters 1, he does something. otherwise if he enters 2, he does something else. You need: * input * output * if/else if statements Don't jump into algorithms or OOP if you can't put a method together.

General Mathematics Calculation. Try to understand, Logic. and, the types of programming (e.g Object Oriented Language, Structured Language etc.) - You should also need to understand the every topics those are common in programming languages. E.g. 1. statement 2. Array 3. Loop etc.
