Introduction To Programming Week - 2

The document provides an introduction to programming concepts such as: - Designing a program by planning inputs, processing, and outputs before writing code. - Using print functions to display output and comments to explain code. - Storing and manipulating data with variables, which are named references to values in memory. - Taking user input with the input function and assigning it to variables.

Outline
• Designing a program
• Input, processing, and output
• Displaying output with the print function
• Comments
• Variables
• Reading input from the keyboard
Designing a program
Program design consists of the steps a programmer should
do before they start coding the program in a specific
language.

• Design the program


• Write the code
• Correct syntax error
• Test the program
• Correct logic errors
Understanding the Program
Understanding the purpose of a program usually involves
understanding its:
• Inputs
• Processing
• Outputs

This IPO approach involves, what the user must enter on the
keyboard and what processing or manipulations will be done.
Input, processing, and output

Input:
Data that the program receives while it is running
Perform some process on the input
Example: mathematical calculation
Produces output
Displaying output with the print function
• Function: piece of prewritten code that performs an
operation
• Print function: displays output on the screen
• Argument: data given to function
Example: data that is printed to screen
comments
Comment: notes of explanation within a program
o Ignored by python interpreter
o Intended for a person reading the program’s code
o Begin with a # character
End line comment: appears at the end of a line of code
o Typically explains the purpose of that line
variables
• Variable: name that represents a value stored in the computer
memory
• Used to access and manipulate data stored in memory
• A variable references the value it represents
• Assignment statement: used to create a variable and make it
reference data
• General format is variable = expression
• Assignment operator: the equal sign(=)
• Example: age=18
continue
• In assignment statement, variable receiving value must be on
left side
• Variable name should not be enclosed in quote marks
• Variable can only be use if a value is assigned to it
Variable naming rules
• Variable name cannot be a python key word
• Variable name cannot contain spaces
• First character must be a letter or an underscore
• After first character may use letter, digits, or underscores
• Variable names are case sensitive
Reading input from the
keyboard
• Most programs need to a read input rom the user
• Built-in input function reads input from keyboard
• Format: variable= input(prompt)
Prompt is typically a string instructing user to enter a value

• Input function always returns a string


• Built in function covert between data types
int (item) converts item to an integer
float (item) coverts item to a float
