Algorithms
Algorithms are sets of step-by-step instructions for the computer to follow. They are at the heart of all computer programs.
When designing an algorithm, you need to assess how complex it could be. With a food recipe, a simple command like 'spread butter on bread' could be made much more detailed.
Algorithms have values that can be constant or variable
- These values are stored in a memory location and can be changed, depending on the output that is needed
- For example, the main content for a sandwich could be cheese or jam. In this case 'main ingredient' would be a value which is variable. You could require one sandwich or 57 sandwiches. This would be another variable.
- These values are stored in a memory location and can be changed, depending on the output that is needed
