From d8c9ec18841f0ef5fb425a2d56e37ae4bb8c3611 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: njmason2 Date: Sat, 30 Aug 2025 14:15:41 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] circle_area.py In a computer program a value is assigned to a name. The value can change, but the name stays the same. When I'm buying food at the grocery store, when I check out I'll see "total $". That's how much money I owe the grocery store. It changes every time I buy food there. (If it's the exact same amount as before, then it'll have a different timestamp). Every customer in the grocery store sees the same name: total $ when they check out, too. Each customer is responsible for their own purchases, and therefore, their own total $. When using variables (names), the computer program can be run a million times by a million different people, with the results (or transaction) corresponding to the person conducting the transaction. --- circle_area.py | 3 +++ greetings.py | 2 +- poetry.lock | 7 +++++++ 3 files changed, 11 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) create mode 100644 poetry.lock diff --git a/circle_area.py b/circle_area.py index 513d6f7..d936120 100644 --- a/circle_area.py +++ b/circle_area.py @@ -4,3 +4,6 @@ print("This program will calculate the area of a circle.") radius = float(input("What is the circle's radius?
