Group 2 - 3.3-3.4 Algorithms and Orders of Operations
Hacks
Notes
What is an Algorithm
- Sequencing: Algorithms do tasks in order
- Selection: Helps to choose an outcome
- Iteration: Code repeats if true
- Algorithms can be shown in two ways.
- In flowcharts which uses shapes and arrows
- In Pseudocode where there is human language and coding format.
Order of Operations
- Operations in parentheses are done first
- Division and multiplication before addition and subtraction
- Modules works similar to multiplication and division
Hacks 3.3
- 1: Sequence: Sets item
- 2: Sequence: Gets number
- 3: Sequence, Selection: Displays if number=item
- 4: Sequence, Iteration: Go back if there are more numbers
- 5: Sequence: Displays result
Crossword Puzzle
- 1 Down: Iteration
- 2 Down: Selection
- 3 Across: Sequence
