+This page contains important fundamental concepts and terminology used in Python such as syntax, operators, order or precedence and more. Although this course uses python, many of these terms are transferable to other programming languages.
## Syntax
+Syntax in Python works like grammar in natural languages: it defines the rules for how we must arrange words, symbols, and indentation so the code becomes a valid instruction.
### Indentations and blocks
In python *indentations* or the space at the start of each line, signifies a block of code. This becomes important when we start working with function and loops. We will talk more about this in the controls structures tutorial.
-
### Comments
-Comments can be added to your code using the hash operator (#). Any text behind the comment operator till the end of the line will be rendered as a comment.
-If you have an entire block of text or code that needs to be commented out, the triple quotation marks (""") can be used. Once used all the code after it will be considered a comment until the comment is ended with the triple quotation marks.f

# Modular Programming
Modular programming or better known as Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is a way we can structure programs so that properties and behaviors of objects are grouped together. It allows us to re-use code which simplifies the code for better readability in larger programs and reduces the potential for bugs. You're probably familiar with the saying "Don't re-invent the wheel". OOP is the programmers solution to this. Python allows us to import libraries so that we don't have to write everything from scratch. The libraries used in this course provide us with algorithms to calculate a solution, structure data and plot data. When looking at the source code of these library you may see keywords, such as `class`. This tutorial will delve into the fundamental concepts of OOP.

#### Objects
Once we have the general structure of what a house is going to look like, we can use this blueprint to start building houses faster. With this blueprint defined. We can start building houses from the blueprint. In python we call this *initializing objects*. Where an actual house built from this blueprint with specific attributes (e.g. house #305, blue house, single-hung window, attached garage) is referred to as an `object`.

Control structures allow us to control the flow of execution in a Python program. The two main types are **conditional statements (`if` statements)** and **loops (`for` and `while` loops)**.
