2. Algorithm Constructs

   • Selection
     • START INPUT race results OUTPUT results table STOP
     • Selection is an algorithm for picking/selecting something from user input.
   • Seqeuncing
     • Sequencing is the order of which instructions are performed.
     • INPUT user choice INPUT user character OUTPUT character ability
   • Assignment
     • DECLARE CharacterName SET CharacterName TO ”Mario” OUTPUT “Will Mario win the trophy?”
     • An assignment statement sets and/or re-sets the value stored in the storage location(s) summoned by a variable name.
   • Iteration
     • Iteration is a function that repeats a block of code in a specified order, often until a specific result occurs.
     • START FOR 5 step INPUT jab and dash ENDFOR END
   • Condition
     • Condition occurs when an event occurs causing a decision to be made.
     • IF distance to opponent LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO attack range THEN ATTACK with jab ELSE ATTACK with dash
