‘Function and Variable Names’
-
A parameter is what is defined in the function definition (num1, num2 etc) and an argument is the values being passed to the function. So in the above example, num1 and num2 in the line def add(num1, num2) are parameters and the values 4 and 3 in the line add(4, 3) are arguments passed to the function's parameters.
Summarising the difference
So the... -

Functions are "self contained" modules of code that accomplish a specific task.

A while loop in Python is a control flow statement that allows a block of code to be executed an indeterminate number of times, so long as the associated condition holds true.
-
Riaz Hussain made a comment
A loop is a piece of code that can repeat itself!

In Python, the “else if” statement is represented by the keyword “elif.” It is used to test multiple conditions sequentially after an initial “if” statement. The “elif” statement allows you to check for additional conditions when the previous condition(s) evaluate to False.
-
Riaz Hussain made a comment
The else keyword is used in conditional statements (if statements), and decides what to do if the condition is False.
-
Riaz Hussain made a comment
Let's break it down:
You start the if statement using the if keyword.
You leave a space and then add a Boolean value. A Boolean value will be an expression that evaluates to True or False .
You then add a colon, : .
On a new line, add one level of indentation. ...
Lastly, write any lines of code statements. -

Conditionals simply allow a program to perform certain computations based on a certain condition. Therefore, it creates branches in our program, allowing our program to perform something depending on a condition. This is very powerful, as you will see in the next videos and exercises.

Objectives: Describe what if statements do and write if statements in Python.
Write loops and while loops to create at least one repeated block of code.
Describe what functions are and write at least one of your own functions.

If an expression is in parenthesis, that is the expression is surrounded by brackets then, as in maths, the expression within the parenthesis will be evaluated first.

Logical operators!
-
The connectives AND, OR, and NOT—also known as logical operators—allow us to construct sophisticated logic statements. Although there are more connectives than these, we concentrate on the most fundamental ones in this course.

Riaz Hussain made a comment
It organizes knowledge using propositions (statements), truth values (true, false), and logical operators (AND, OR, NOT). To help AI systems draw conclusions and make decisions, knowledge bases hold facts and rules in propositional logic.

A Python program takes certain steps to find the lowest integer in a list. On the other hand, pseudocode does not need particular programming syntax and instead offers a high-level, understandable explanation of the procedure. It helps to define the strategy before delving into the intricacies of programming by acting as a link between the abstract algorithm...

What is an algorithm?
Rafael describes an algorithm as a sequence of instructions or steps to solve a specific problem or a class of problems.
Forms of Algorithm Representation:
Algorithms can be described in various forms: pseudocode, flowcharts, or even within a program itself.
Algorithm: Solution steps
Program: Code implementation -
Problem Solving:
Sometimes humans can think creatively but are not useful for programming. The computer can execute detailed small steps and the computer can not figure out if you don't give the right input.
L Shape Example: Reach the case build the entire thing put them and fill the space leaving nothing empty and solve this problem.

Concurrency Model:
JavaScript: Non-blocking, event-driven.

Come to the downstage center, and have this relationship with the deck in which you are gesturing and talking people through the content, but then pulling them back... -

It is informative going through the exercise but if it engages the course participant as the first two activities/exercises do, it might be more interactive.
