3. High vs. Low Level Languages
PYTHON IS A HIGH LEVEL LANGUAGE
High Level Language
Allows programmers to write algorithms, loops, and functions/methods without detailed knowledge of the hardware
Examples: C, C++, Java, and Python
Low Level Language
Requires detailed knowledge of machine level coding: involvement with registers, interrupts, etc..
Example: MARIE Simulator

4. Functions vs. Methods
A function is a piece of code that can pass data through it (in the form of a parameter) and can return data (optional).
A method is a piece of code that is associated with an object defined in the class. Two key elements:
A method is implicitly passed
A method is able to operate on data contained within the class
