Algorithms

1. Representations

   • Flow Charts
     • alternative to pseudocode
     • visual can see what is happening
     • very quick and easy to follow
   • pseudocode
     • not one code languge
     • easy to understand
     • in local toung (english)

2. purpose

   • to make tasks simple
     • breaks it down it to simple steps
     • each step is easy to follow + fool prof
   • to explain any task to a computer
     • higher level code
       • the computer can interprat it in binary
       • writen colse to english
     • lower level code
       • this is closer to computer languge and binary
       • makes the task in to very simple steps that computers can do
