Make is used to build the source code examples. To build the code for a section, change directory to that folder's section (which contains a Makefile) and run the build target with make build. Below is more information about targets defined in the Makefiles.

There is also a top level Makefile that can be used to run make targets for each section's source. To run, define a SECTION parameter when executing make with the following syntax: SECTION=[PART].[CHAPTER].[SECTION].

# Build Chapter 1 Section 0 (Hello Python)
make build SECTION=1.1.0
# Run Chapter 1 Section 1 (Hello Python)
make run SECTION=1.1.0
# Format Chapter 5 Section 1 (Input Management)
make format SECTION=1.5.0

The makefiles for each section uses the following environment variables for building:
