Obviously some explanations are in order, so let us start with
program-name
:
acctprint
.
As you could guess
program-name
is a keyword that we use to indicate the name of our program. We will be writing many
programs so we need to distinguish one from another. We do this with that keyword. The
name we choose here for our program is a variable,
acctprint
.
