Computer Science

an integrated development environment (IDE) is an application that facilitates the writing and running of programs, and also provides support tools

using colours to distinguish code elements

Features of an IDE

High and low level languages

Assembly language

Input and output

Developing programs using sequence

Variables and constants in programs

Common data types

Programming project: sequence I

Programming project: sequence II

In this unit pupils will discover computers process instructions. They will recognise the function and tools IDEs provide for developing code and start to develop Python programa which follow a sequence. Pupils will create programs which deal with input and output and make variables to store values.
