Python

1. a computer is a device that takes in input and has an output

   • it does what you tell it to do
     • programming
       • identation
         • when the code isn't directly on the next line there is a space before the code begins on that line
     • in small steps
       • sequence instructions
         • in chronological order
           • it will follow the steps and solve the problem
         • however you can swap some steps and the outcome will be the same
         • decomposition
           • breaking up the program into small tasks so that the computer can solve the problem
   • the computer isn't clever and needs simple steps

2. algorithm

   • a set of instructions to perform a task

3. the computer is meant to solve all the problems

   • when the computer solves the problem it's called decompositon
