An algorithm is the blueprint for a program:
 Pseudo code algorithms, be described
"informally" with a mix of natural language,
math, and logic notation, e.g.
1. Step 1: getting the beef ready for cooking
2. Step 2: seasoning the beef
3. ….
4. Step n: set Air Fryer to….
 Flowchart, another algorithm type, is a diagram
or visual representation of steps and their
execution order

 Various flowchart languages exist, but almost all of them
include the following kinds of symbols:
1. Terminal (begin/end)
2. input/output
3. process
4. decision
5. flow (order of execution)

Statements – Instructions for machines
 Run/Execute -when computer performs those steps
 Languages – low to high level, JavaScript, HMTL and CSS are
samples of high level languages
 Translations – compile vs interpret
 Syntax – language or statement rules
 Six essential statements –input, output,
declaration, assignment, decision and loop

understands, aka computer program
(known as IPO statements)

Statements – The 6 essential statements
 Browser – the interpreter for HTML, CSS and JavaScript
 IPO – input, process and output, 6 essentials
statements being interpreted, each has their
corresponding flow chart symbols
PROCESS
2. Create a storage and reference, called
variable
3. Compute and store a value in a variable
4. Decide which statement to perform next
5. Repeat one or more statements based on the
condition
