Introduction to Programming Logic
Sequence, selection and repetition, the three ideas every program is built from.
What this lesson covers
Introduction to Programming Logic is a 10-part Class 6 Computer Science lesson. Each part makes one point and then hands over to the next, so it can be read in a sitting or picked up again at the part you stopped on. It defines the idea in plain words before using it, works through an example step by step, breaks the topic into its parts and compares them, shows where it is used outside the textbook, names the mistakes that cost marks in an exam, ends with a recap of what to remember.
How it begins
An algorithm is a precise, finite sequence of steps for solving a problem. A recipe is an algorithm. So are directions to the station. A program is an algorithm written in a language a computer can execute. Getting the algorithm right comes first, writing it in a programming language is the easier half.
The 10 parts
- An algorithm is a plan
- Three building blocks
- Flowcharts
- Variables and conditions
- Choosing the right loop
- Writing an algorithm from scratch
- Why this is worth learning
- Where it usually goes wrong
- What to remember
- Watch one worked through
