Algorithm - a set of instructions independent of any programming language that calculates a function or solves a problem.
Express the solution to a simple problem as an algorithm using flowcharts, pseudo-code or structured English and the standard constructs:
- 1 Sequence
- 2 Assignment
- 3 Selection
- 4 Repetition
Sequence
Console.writeline("This is line 1") Console.writeline("This is line 2") Console.writeline("This is line 3")
Assignment [edit]
Assigning a value to a variable
Dim x, y, sum as integer x = 5 y = 15 sum = x + y
Selection [edit]
If x > 0 then Console.writeline("x is positive") End If If x = 0 then Console.writeline("x equals 0") End If If x < 0 then Console.writeline("x is negative") End If
Repetition [edit]
x = 0 y = 5 Do x = x + 1 Loop Until x = y
