Development 1

1. Look at the Print out. What do you think this programming will do. Work in pairs / small groups?
2. Copy the code.   Can you get it to work?
3.  Ask a friend to test your errors. Remember, we need to make mistakes in programming to learn from them.
4.  If you have trouble loading up the Idle software. Try this online Python editor.  www.repl.it
