""" Purpose:  demonstrate user communication - what does the program do?
    Author:   Jim Cohoon - who made this? take credit for your code you work hard for it :)
    Email id: jpc
    put this at the top of every program you write just make it a habit
    triple quotes mean pycharm will ignore everything until there is another triple quote
    multi-line comment - this is only for people, the computer will ignore all of this
    having a multi-line comment is really handy so you can just give all the documentation for the program

# python is a programming language and an app that runs the python code
# Pycharm is an interactive development environment (IDE) and helps us get our grammar and syntax
# we can write code in Pycharm and Pycharm can run it through Python for us and give us the output
# IDEs are very nice and handy and you don't know how handy until you can't use them in CS 2150 oops i'm old :(

#python is interpretive - runs from top to bottom

# python doesn't care about comments at all, once a line starts with a # it will ignore everything after
# this line is for humans, not the computer :)

# python ignores whitespace (whitespace is just spaces, tabs, new lines - space without characters)
# adding whitespace can help make your code more readable
# print( "python won't like this") this statement starts in Column 2
# ALL statements should start in Column 1, unless they're part of a bigger statement (we'll look at these later!)

# GOTCHA - whenever I use a function, I need to use parentheses

# this_is_a_snake_case_comment
# Send message to user
# these are single line comments
# use single or double quotes to your preference, just make sure it matches, can't have "statement'

# strings are collections of characters in either 'single' or "double" quotes
# if you want to have an apostrophe in your string, easier to use "double" quotes
# we will not be approaching our computers' computing limits in this class, don't worry

# you can change your pycharm theme on your own time, i'm partial to the dark theme myself
# when we write our CS 1112 assignments, we add in padding on either side of parentheses
# this is a STYLE rule, python does not care

# do as many hours as it takes you to finish and understand the assignments

# indentation helps us visually organize code, as we get more complex we'll have multi-line statements
#  I promise it will all make sense when we get there

print( "All you need is love" ) # hey look we can put comments here too!
# print() is a built-in function that we INVOKE on line 46 (column 1)
# the print() function is used to display information inside the parentheses
# functions are case sensitive, but we generally don't use capital letters in python
# ALL the built-in functions in python are lowercase, Print() does not exist

# you will have access to information during the exam

# every time you run the code it saves. if you're worried it's file->save
# these notes will be posted under artifacts on the class webpage

# we are going to walk through accessing other libraries, eventually
# everything is free, most CS classes are free
# we will be teaching basic coding and problem solving in Python, if you want to use more languages keep taking CS classes

# reading is really important. please read the website, read the notes, and read assignment details
# PLEASE do not come to office hours before reading the assignment
# parsing assignments and turning written directions into code is a really important skill
