Since an answer has already been given (by Pierre Dagenais),
let's see if we can help you "figure it out".
The first step is to read the program specification, or, in your

computer programs have INPUT, PROCESS, and OUTPUT, let's

You can create a Python script on a *nix system and run it with:
$ python threeplusfour.py
You can place a shebang line as the first line of the script, which points
to the python interpreter:

Save the file, then make it an executable with:

It's a test snippet. I use unusu
Greetings,
I'm having a problem with the following test.
I make a dictionary with 19 keys (1 to 19).
Each key has a list of 7 numbers (A to G)
# Set up the table

tablE= {1:[ 0, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],# 1
2:[ 1, 3, 3, 0, 0, 0, 0],# 2

Greetings,
Take a look at this page:

and also this one (by the same programmer):

Not only are these interesting reads, but also give a glimpse
into what it takes to teach kids computer programmin

Abaqus is widely
If you have a web page, you can upload the code to your web page,
then post here with a link to the code and a request for reviews.

This isn't elegant, but it is a start. My method is: get SOMETHING working,
then work from there. 8^D
"""
constant: moving = "m"
constant: inserting = "i"
constant: jumping = "j"
.

action = moving
.
.
.
if action == jumping:
jumpSomewhere()
elseif action == moving:
moveSomewhere()
