High vs. Low Level Languages

PYTHON IS A HIGH LEVEL LANGUAGE

High Level Language Allows programmers to write algorithms, loops, and

functions/methods without detailed knowledge of the hardware

Examples: C, C++, Java, and Python

Low Level Language Requires detailed knowledge of machine level

coding: involvement with registers, interrupts, etc.. Example: MARIE Simulator


Functions vs. Methods

A function is a piece of code that can pass data through it (in the form of a parameter) and can return data (optional).

A method is a piece of code that is associated with an object defined in the class. Two key elements: A method is implicitly passed A method is able to operate on data contained

within the class


Nested For Loop

A for loop within a for loop An inner loop enclosed inside an outer loop
