== The First Checkpoint (Oct 13) ==
* Before you begin coding in Python, it is important to plan your algorithm. Therefore your first task will be to complete and submit an algorithm document. This document should be named '''algorithm_[student_idSeneca_name].txt'''. This file should be plaintext. The document will contain two sections:
:* <code>A description of how your main program works. The main program flow is provided to you in a1_template.py. Open the file, and use clear English to describe what each line of code does in such a way that a competent Python coder could reproduce the code without seeing it firsthand.</code>
:* <code>You will then apply the same principles to create an algorithm for each validation function named in the a1_template.py file. Inside the code, if you are calling another function like "leap_year()", you may simply describe what the function will return, and not the operation of the function itself.</code>
