1. Accuracy

  • If you can’t write code accurately, you’ll have difficulty with programming
  • Correct spelling and accurate use of other important symbols (brackets, colons, speech marks) is crucial
  • Case also matters. Instructions are always in lowercase (highlighted orange or purple in the code below)
  • Double and single quotes are interchangeable most of the time. Choose one or the other and stick to it!
