computer program - Consists of instructions that a computer executes (or runs), like multiplying numbers
or printing a number to a screen.
task decomposition - Means to reduce a complex task into simpler basic steps, making the whole task
easier to solve.
algorithm - A recipe or a methodical step-by-step procedure to perform a task.
computational thinking - Evaluating a problem's most basic parts and then creating an algorithm to solve
that problem is commonly known as
Python interpreter - An application that can be used on various operating systems, including Microsoft
Windows, Linux, and MacOS.
interactive interpreter - A program that allows the user to execute one line of code at a time.
code - A common word for the textual representation of a program
line - A row of text
prompt - Indicates the interpreter is ready to accept code ">>>"
statement - A program instruction
expression - code that returns a value when evaluated;
variables - Named references to values stored by the interpreter.
,assignment - Creates a new variable by using the = value
comments - used to explain portions of code to a human reader. "# PA1"
print() - displays variables or expression values
string literal - Text enclosed in quotes is known as this. ('hello world')
new line character - A new line can also be output by inserting \n.

program, application, or "app" - The programmer -created sequence of instructions
machine instructions - Instructions represented as 0s and 1s
executable program - a sequence of machine instructions
assembly - created programs called assemblers to automatically translate human readable instructions
high-level languages - programmers created this to support programming using formulas or algorithms,
so a programmer could write complex formulas
compilers - programs that automatically translate high-level language programs into executable
programs.
