SI 106 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Tuple
Document Summary
Course content: problem solving, debugging, object-oriented programming, entry exam review. Like a recipe or installation instructions, a program is a sequence of steps to be done in order. Some steps are conditional - they may be skipped. Sometimes a step or group of steps are to be repeated. Sometimes we store a set of steps to be reused over and over as needed several places throughout the program. When a program is running, it flows from one step to the next. We as programmers set up paths for the program to follow. Loops (repeated steps) have iteration variables that change each time through a loop. Often these iteration variables go through a sequence of numbers. Rules for python variable names: must start with a letter or underscore , must consist of letters and numbers and underscores, case sensitive. Reserved words: you can not use reserved words as variable names / identifiers.
