Repeated instructions

execute again and again for a definite or indefinite time

Sequential instructions

execute in the order in which they are written

Python has special words that mean a lot to it, so we can not use them to name variables.

These are called reserved words.

If we receive a "syntax error" or "traceback" this is Python's way of saying:....

help! I don't know what to do now.

Conditional instructions

execute only when stated requirements are met

There are four basic programming instruction patterns...

sequential, conditional, repeated, store and retrieve

In a python story counts[words]=counts.get(word,0)+1

is a sentence about updating one of the many counts

In this python story "input" is

a function used to read data from a user

In a python story if bigcount is None or count > bigcount: bigword=word bigcount=count

is a paragraph about how to find the largest item in a list

when we refer to code in this class we mean

a sequence of instructions written in a programming language
