Programming Tutorial for absolute beginners

[James]

Perhaps use the phrase "whole number" there and mention that in
programming they're called integers. Having a glossary with
definitions for things like integer, float etc etc. would be good if
when you talked about integers it linked to the glossary. And
similarly use "decimals" for floats? Less sure about that one though.
But anyway you don't need to go into the whole type thing, just
mention that Python distinguishes between doing maths with whole
numbers and decimals.
