Programming and Algorithms: Week 1

What are we doing this week?

This week we are going to look back on topics we have covered previously, and we are also going to look at STRUCTURED PROGRAMMING, including MODULARISATION, RETURN VALUES, PARAMETER PASSING, and GLOBAL AND LOCAL VARIABLES.
Moving onto the Python side of things we will look at implementations of MODULARISATION, RETURN VALUES, PARAMETER PASSING, and GLOBAL AND LOCAL VARIABLES.
