FACT: Programmers are Lazy! Sub-solution procedure
Explain that sub-solution is used to hide the detail in your programs but also to make it possible to re-use code.
We will learn about one type of sub-solution today called a procedure
Find out how a procedure can be used to hide the detail in your programs

5. New Learning square() right(70) from turtle import * def square():
forward(100)
right(90)
square()
right(70)
This is an example of a program that includes a procedure
Find out how a procedure can be used to hide the detail in your programs

6. New Learning def square(): forward(100) right(90)
here is a closer look at the procedure – you will have noticed that it has been called square and has a number of instructions built into it
I will now run through the code showing you what is happening
Find out how a procedure can be used to hide the detail in your programs

7. New Learning square() right(70) forward(100)
Here is the rest of the program, you will notice that the first instruction is a call to the procedure – so control switches to the procedure
Find out how a procedure can be used to hide the detail in your programs

8. New Learning def square(): forward(100) right(90)
control is passed to the procedure that has been called and the computer executes each instruction in order inside the procedure

14. New Learning def square(): forward(100) right(90)
Find out how a procedure can be used to hide the detail in your programs

15. New Learning def square(): forward(100) right(90)
We have got to the end of the procedures code so control passes back to the main part of the program (or the main method)

29. from turtle import * Using Standard libraries
Learning development
from turtle import * Using Standard libraries
Python only has a limited number of built in methods (things it can do using single keywords like print)
If you want to extend the number of choices of method you have to choose from you can use the from xxx import method at the beginning of your code.
This example imports the screen turtle that I showed you in my example code
