Slide 4 - Installation Steps

The slide outlines the installation steps for Python as a timeline with three key phases. First, download the latest installer from python.org/downloads for your operating system; second, run the installer and enable the option to add Python to your system's PATH; and third, verify the setup by opening a terminal and entering 'python --version'.

Installation Steps

Step 1: Download Python from Official Site Visit python.org/downloads to obtain the latest installer for your operating system. Step 2: Run Installer and Add to PATH Execute the downloaded file and select the option to add Python to your system's PATH environment variable. Step 3: Verify Installation in Terminal Open command prompt or terminal and type 'python --version' to check if Python is properly installed.

--- Speaker Notes: This slide covers Python installation. For the full PPT: Installation includes setting environment variables like PATH for accessibility. Differences: Algorithm is a step-by-step problem-solving procedure; Pseudocode is an informal, English-like description of an algorithm; Flowchart is a visual diagram using shapes to represent algorithm steps.

Slide 7 - How to Set PATH Variable

To set the PATH variable for Python, edit system environment variables on Windows to include the Python directory, or add 'export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/python' to .bashprofile on macOS/Linux. After making changes, restart your terminal or command prompt and verify by running 'python --version' in a new session.

How to Set PATH Variable

  • Windows: Edit System Environment Variables and add Python directory to PATH.
  • macOS/Linux: Add 'export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/python' to .bashprofile.
  • Restart terminal or command prompt after changes.
  • Test by running 'python --version' in new session.

Slide 9 - Differences: Algorithm, Pseudocode, Flowchart

The slide compares algorithms and pseudocode on the left, defining algorithms as step-by-step natural language instructions for problem-solving, like a recipe, and pseudocode as an informal, structured outline blending English and code syntax for planning logic without strict rules. On the right, it describes flowcharts as visual diagrams using symbols—such as ovals for start/end, rectangles for steps, and diamonds for decisions—to graphically represent process flow and program structure.

Slide 11 - Why These Matter

The slide, titled "Why These Matter," features a quote from Donald Knuth, author of "The Art of Computer Programming," emphasizing that algorithms form the core blueprint of every program. It highlights the importance of mastering pseudocode and flowcharts to effectively connect conceptual ideas with actual code.

Why These Matter

> In the heart of every program lies an algorithm—the blueprint of computation. Master pseudocode and flowcharts to bridge ideas and code seamlessly.

— Donald Knuth, Author of 'The Art of Computer Programming'
