To program a computer, we need to write the instructions in a special language, which we call a programming language. + Python has syntax rules, and each line of instruction has to comply with these rules. For example, print(23+7) print(10- 6) print(12+38) doesn't comply with Python's syntax rules and raises a syntax error + ‘The instructions we send to the computer are collectively known as code. Each line of, instruction is known as a line of code. + When we write code, we program the computer to do something, For this reason, we also call the code we write a computer program, or a program. + ‘The code we write serves as input to the computer. ‘The result of executing the code is called output ‘The sequence of characters that follows the # symbol is called a code comment. We can use code comments to stop the computer executing a line of code or add information about the code we write. 6 TakeawaybyDataquedabsinc-Alightzeserved 2020
