Algorithm Constructs

1. Sequence

   • The order that the code is executed
     • Open the fridge door, Take out the chocolate, Close the fridge door, Unwrap the chocolate, Eat the choclate

2. Assignment

   • Assigning a worded/numerical value to a variable
     • x = 5 y = "You beat the game!'

3. Selection and Condition

   • Uses a condition to decide what code is executed
     • CALCULATE totalCost IF (totalCost > $10) THEN OUTPUT 'no delivery charge' ELSE OUTPUT '$5 delivery charge' ENDIF OUTPUT 'thankyou'

4. Iteration

   • Executes a code while a condition is true/false
     • DECLARE count SET count TO 0 WHILE (there are items in a pile) ADD 1 TO count END WHILE OUTPUT the number of items
