1. Algorithms

   • An algorithm is a set of instructions for a computer to follow, for example they are similar to a food recipe. A example of a algorithm is pseudocode, this is where you write your instructions in plain English before you decide what type of programming language you will use. This is also a way of making sure that what you are creating is correct and a way of sharing your ideas in a easier format. Another way of using a algorithm is with Flow Charts, this shows very similar to what might happen if a computer where to take on a task, it does this by showing the key points of the algorithm.

2. Programming Languages

   • Assembler - The assembler translates assembly language into machine code.
   • Interpreter - An interpreter translates code into machine code, instruction by instruction.
   • Compiler - A compiler translates the whole program into machine code before the program is run.
   • High Level Code and Machine Code
