Key learning points
- An algorithm is a sequence of steps that can be followed to do a task.
- A program is a set of commands that can be run by a computer in order for it to do a task.
- All programming languages have rules for syntax that must be followed so that the program can run.
- The print() function is used to output information from a Python program.
- The input() function is used to input data from the user into a Python program.
Common misconception
Pupils will modify their code to provide input directly in to the input() function, for example, user = input("Aisha"), rather than typing when asked as the program runs.
The computer follows the instructions of a program. Input that a user has to type in should only be entered when the program runs. This allows different users to provide different inputs without changing the program in any way.
Keywords
