- 1—An algorithm is a sequence of instructions, usually given to a computer, for a certain thing to be completed.
- 2Algorithms are used to complete everyday tasks, for example; getting ready for school, making a cup of tea, etc.Algorithms have to be in the correct order, otherwise the result you intended won't be the same.
- 3Algorithms have to be clear but detailed.An algorithm is made up of a sequence of 'tasks'.
- 4Algorithms are made up of three main techniques or building blocks; sequence, iteration and selection.A selection in an algorithm means making a decision.
- 5Iteration in an algorithm means to repeat things over and over, usually until a certain condition is met.An algorithm must be translated into a programming language before it can be executed by a computer.
- 6Flow diagrams are useful for representing algorithms. They visually show how the algorithm should look.In algorithms there are variables. These are used to define information to.
- 7Variables are named using 'identifiers'The sequence within an algorithm is important in order to get the correct output.
