Modular Programming with Python

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 ...
