Python

Python

1. Created by Guido Van Rossum and first released in 1991.

2. An example python game (on a mobile device) is tic-tac-toe/noughts and crosses and rock, paper, scissors.

3. A computer is a device that takes in an input and gives an output.

   • You give the computer and order/s so it can solve a problem.

4. We break the problem into small, simple steps/tasks for the computer to follow.

   • When we break up the steps it is called decomposition.

5. When decomposition occurs in chronological order it is called an alogorithm.

6. The computer will follow these steps in the order that it is given.

   • This is called a sequence.
     • A sequence is where it starts with the first task, then the second and the third then so on and so on until all steps are completed

7. When the code isn't directly on the next line, there's a space before the code begins on that line.
