Complied Programming Languages

Interpreted Programming Languages

• turns your system into a server

• also known as a scripting language (browsers are interpreters)

Interpreted vs Compiled Programming Languages: What's the Difference?

Difference between a PC and a Server:

• Job a server is to serve up what its suppose to serve up

IDE - Integrated Development Environment

• allows your code to interact with the interpreter
• PyCharm is a IDE

Algorithm:

• a finite set of executable instructions

• Givens (a fact, if a given fails then everything stops)

• Assumptions (you can drop an assumption and it won't break the program)

• goal - end product (don't start until you know what it's going to look like)

Get Frank out of the class room!

• Face forward
• walk x distance
• stop
• Turn left 90 degrees
• Walk x distance
• stop
• Grab the door handle
• open the door

NO AMBIGUITY

Get it to work, and then make it efficient!

Python

• a scripting language
• uses an interpreter to interpret our code and give us feedback

Creating a project

• we must set the project up properly or other students can get to your code
• We must create a unique folder where you save all of the python code
• network drive called the H: Drive
• The only way to get to the H drive is if you are on campus

• Create your project folder within the H-Drive

Algorithm

A finite ORDERED list of executable instructions that work to achieve a single goal

• have your stated goal
• understand your givens
• understand your assumptions

Assumptions help simplify the instructions you are executing

• as a programmer you are trying to get your program to work
• make it work first and then make it efficient
• Goal, given, and assumptions work to meet user needs
