The document discusses different types of control structures used in algorithms: - Sequence is performing steps in order without branching. - Binary selection is making a decision that can go one of two ways, like an if/else statement. - Multiway selection allows choosing from more than two options, like a case/switch statement. - Iteration is repeating steps, like in a loop with a while or repeat until condition is met.

1. Algorithms Sheet 2 Identifying Control Structures

2. 1. Match the terms sequence , binary selection , multiway selection and iteration to the descriptions that follow: a decision taken in an algorithm which can go either of two ways binary selection (b) decision taken in an algorithm which allows more than two choices multiway selection decision two decision more than two

3. 1. Match the terms sequence , binary selection , multiway selection and iteration to the descriptions that follow: a decision taken in the processing done by an ATM to either withdraw, deposit or check account balance, depending on the key pressed multiway selection (d) a loop in a process which repeats the same instructions a number of times iteration decision more than two repeats

4. 1. Match the terms sequence , binary selection , multiway selection and iteration to the descriptions that follow: (e) a part of a program where we always add 1 to a counter and then print sequence (f) a portion of a program that is done over and over again, and only stops when the count reaches zero iteration always over and over again

5. 2. Identify two of the control structures used in each of the following algorithms (a) Count = 0 REPEAT DoTheLoop Add 1 to Count UNTIL Count = 5 sequence iteration/repetition sequence

6. 2. Identify two of the control structures used in each of the following algorithms (b) WHILE Count <= 5 Add 1 to Count DoTheLoop END WHILE iteration/repetition sequence

7. 2. Identify two of the control structures used in each of the following algorithms (c) Get NextVideo IF category = ‘X’ THEN print ‘You cannot watch this!’ ELSE DoBorrowProcess Print details END IF sequence selection (binary)

8. 2. Identify two of the control structures used in each of the following algorithms (d) REPEAT Enter Number IF Number > highest THEN set highest to Number END IF UNTIL no more Numbers iteration/repetition sequence selection
