Algorithm
A set of logically sequenced instructions that allows to find the solution to a problem is. They must be precise, consise, logical.

Define, Analyze, Develop, Write, Test and Debug, Document
Python
Programming language that is commonly used to teach the basic concepts of programming to beginners. Simple, readable. Concepts such as variables, loops and functions.
Interpreter
Executes code line by line, for immediate feedback and debugging. translation and execution are done simultaneously.
Compiler
translates the whole program at once before execution.
Statement
complete command
Shell
Interactive environment
function
set of instructions executed together
What is the only thing that computers understand?
