Describe the term textual programming. Create a simple piece of code either with guidance or independently Python vs Kodu and Scratch Similarities: They are all programming languages, so use variables in their programming (if;also;when;do etc.) They all use sequencing, so follow steps in a linear pattern They also all have the capability of producing bugs, if something is done incorrectly. Differences: Python is a TEXTUAL programming language, that uses keyboard input commands to carry out its programming Kodu and Scratch are both VISUAL programming languages, in that you select the commands you want from a list and the program does the actual coding for you.
