- 3What is an algorithm?An algorithm is a plan to solve a problem.
- 4What does an algorithm tell you?The input, output and processes.
- 5If the input values are the width and length, how do you start off the program to find the surface area?width = input ("Enter the width: ")
width = float (width)
length = input ("Enter the length: ")
length = float (length)
area = width * length
print (area) - 6What are the limitations of abstraction?- The pond might not be an exact rectangle.
- Measurements might not be exactly right.
- The depth of the pond might vary.
