Chapter 2. Writing Your First Modular Program
In this chapter, we will use modular programming techniques to implement a non-trivial program. Along the way, we will:
- Learn about the divide and conquer approach to program design
- Examine the tasks our program needs to perform
- Look at the information our program will need to store
- Apply modular techniques to break our program down into individual parts
- Figure out how each part can be implemented as a separate Python module
- See how the various modules work together to implement our program's functionality
- Follow this process to implement a simple but complete inventory control system
- See how modular techniques allow you to add functionality to your program while minimizing the changes that need to be made
