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
