          In this new chapter it teaches me about flowcharts which is a diagram that explains the algorithm of the program. In this chapter it uses the flowchart hangman code and taking you how to do the flowchart step-by-step.            In the flowchart you start with coming up with the word bank to choose from which the computer uses the random.randint function to choose from your word bank.

Debugging

In this week, I started a new chapter called debugging which teaches you how to debug with python. Debugging is checking through each line of code to see for bugs and then remove the bugs (in other words ‘errors’).   In python there is a debugger to do the debugging for you, and in this debugger you can step through the lines of code using the step tool. The chapter also talks about debugging local area and global area. local area means the functions in your program, and global means the code outside the functions. I later knew that programming is not only writing lines of code, you must debug the lines. Programming is just like literature, first you write then, you review for mistakes. Here is a video to teach you about debugging in python:

In my 20 percent project, I am learning the python language, ( http://adf.ly/1Z4ZDi ) which I am using a book called 'invent with python' to help me in learning the language ( http://adf.ly/1Z4ZFm ).

To teach you these functions the book uses a game called jokes the source code is found on this site ( http://adf.ly/1Z4ZHB ).
