Document Summary

Steps to writing programs: analyze the problem figure out the problem and what you are doing, determine specifications describe what your program will do, create a design determine the how. Formulate the structure: test / debug the program fix any errors by running the program, maintain the program develop the program in response to the user"s needs. Implement a design translate the design into a computer. Debugging the process of locating and fixing errors. These are given to modules and the functions within modules. Reserved words identifiers that are part of python itself. These are the fragments of code that produce or calculate new data values. There are rules for syntax (form) and semantics (meaning). Meta-languages are sophisticated notations that describe programming languages. An expression that doesn"t produce a number but rather a sequence of character data is called a string. Input statements get information from the user and store it into a variable.
