What does the construct 'sequence' mean?

• A process where a set of instructions or structures are repeated in a sequence a specified number of times or until a condition is met.

• The order that commands are executed by a computer, allows us to carry out tasks that have multiple steps.

• A question is asked, and depending on the answer, the program takes one of two courses of action, after which the program moves on to the next event.

What does the data type 'integer' mean?

• A data type composed of a number that is not an integer, because it includes a fraction represented in decimal format.
