1. Coding Constructs

   • IF statements
     • If and if-else statements are used in Python to perform conditional execution of code. They allow you to specify one or more conditions and depending on whether the conditions are met or not, the code inside the if or if-else block is executed.
       • if condition: # code to be executed if condition is True
   • FOR loops
     • A FOR loop is a common control structure in Python that allows you to repeat a block of code a specific number of times.
       • for item in sequence: # Code to be executed for each item in the sequence

2. Algorithm Constructs

   • Sequence
     • A sequence is a number of instructions that are processed one after the other.
       • DECLARE count SET count TO 1 OUTPUT the value of count
   • Assignment
     • Assignment is used to store the value of an expression into a variable.
       • DECLARE studentName SET studentName TO Bob
   • Selection & Condition
     • A selection statement uses a condition to select, or determine, the next line of the program that is to be executed
       • CALCULATE totalCost IF (totalCost > $10) THEN OUTPUT 'no delivery charge' ELSE OUTPUT '$5 delivery charge' ENDIF OUTPUT 'thankyou
   • Iteration
     • Iteration is also called repetition and is used when something is repeated over and over again, so anything where the program goes round in a loop. Typically programmed using code such as WHILE, REPEAT and FOR statements.
       • DECLARE count SET count TO 0 FOR count = 1 to 10 OUTPUT count END FOR OUTPUT ‘finished
   • Modularisation
     • Modularisation is used to reduce the complexity of a system by deconstructing it into independent units or modules.
       • FUNCTION delivery_charge CALCULATE totalCost IF (totalCost > $10) THEN OUTPUT ‘no delivery charge’ ELSE OUTPUT ‘$5 delivery charge’ ENDIF OUTPUT ‘thankyou’ END FUNCTION
