Computer Science

the process of finding and fixing errors in code to ensure it works correctly

Developing programs using sequence

High and low level languages

Features of an IDE

Input and output

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.

Programming: sequence

What is the process of finding and correcting errors in a program called?

Put these steps in order to produce the correct output from a program.

What does the sequence of a program determine?

The program may produce unexpected results.

What happens if the sequence of code in a program is incorrect?

finding and correcting errors in program code

because computers execute instructions line by line

because computers ignore the sequence of code

because the order of code determines the speed of execution

Why does the order of code in a program matter?

information produced by a computer after processing

What does the sequence in a program determine?

What Python code is used to take input from the user and store it in a variable called 'name'?
