IF statements
Sequences of instructions for a computer. consist of a set of A single action that can be performed by a computer processor. that are carried out one after another. Sometimes there may be more than one path (or set of steps) that can be followed. At this point, a decision needs to be made. This decision is known as A decision within a computer program when the program decides to move on based on the results of an event..
For example, this simple A sequence of logical instructions for carrying out a task. In computing, algorithms are needed to design computer programs. prints out a message depending on how old you are:
- Ask how old you are
- IF you are 70 or older, say 鈥淵ou are aged to perfection!鈥
The selection comes in step 2. If you are aged 70 or over, one message is displayed.
As a A diagram that shows a process, made up of boxes representing steps, decision, inputs and outputs., the algorithm would look like this:
