Program input & output

In this video we discuss how to input parameters into programs to tweak their behaviour and how a program can return results in a different way than print statements.

Main takeaways

• Be able to set program parameters, like number of EPR pairs to generate, when instantiating a program.
• Be able to create an application without creating a program class for each node. (But you do create a program instance per node)
• Be able to return the output from a program
• Be able to perform analysis of the program output in run_simulation.py
