4. Words

   • Assignment
     • Sets and/or re-sets the value stored in the storage locations designated by a variable name
       • STORE user input into "name" variable
   • Sequence
     • In a sequence structure, an action, or event, leads to the next ordered action in a predetermined order.
       • OUTPUT "how old are you?" INPUT user inputs their age
         • STORE use input into "age" variable new_age = age * 3
           • OUTPUT "i am" + new_age
   • Selection
     • In a selection structure, a question is asked, and depending on the answer, the program takes one off two courses of action, after which the program moves onto the next event.
       • IF input = hi THEN OUTPUT hello ELSE walk away
   • Conditions
     • Conditional statements check whether a specified Boolean condition is true or false. Makes the program act in one way if the condition is met, and another if it isn't
       • WHILE waving OUTPUT hi
   • Iterations
     • Is a process wherein a set of instructions or structure are repeated in a sequence a specified number of times or until a condition is met
       • REPEAT saying "hello" UNTIL they reply with "hello"
   • Modularisation
     • A software design technique that separates the functionality of a program into independent interchangeable modules, such that each contains everything necessary to execute only one desired functionality
       • LET "h" OUTPUT say "hello" twice
         • INPUT h OUTPUT hello hello
   • Boolean
     • A binary variable that can have one of two possible values, 0 (false), 1 (true)
