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 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. It asks the player to guess a letter from the secret word, that is from the word bank. After asking the player for the letter it goes under two options: it is in the secret word or it is not. If it is in the secret word it branches another arrow that would be has guessed all and wins, vice versa if he did not guess it correctly. The flowchart is recommended for advanced programs such as visual games.

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 ). I have recently finished chapter 5 which talks about how to use escape characters, single and double quotes, end function in the print function. To teach you these functions the book uses a game called jokes the source code is found on this site ( http://adf.ly/1Z4ZHB ).
