What are the multiple way algorithms can be represented?

• Natural language, like English

• Visually, using flowcharts

• Actual executable code (a program that runs on the computer)

• All of these

Before programmers write an algorithm using the actual code, programmers plan out their algorithms using natural language or a flowchart.

• True

• False

The advantages of programmers writing an algorithm in natural language, like English, and/or a flowchart is because

• They’re easier to understand.

• They’re flexible.

• They’re less complex.

• All of these

Before a programmer start to solve a computing problem, it’s important to plan by identifying the series of steps that the code needs to follow. This is called

• algorithm processing

• execution

• flowcharting

• algorithmic thinking

An ordered set of instructions that are used to carry out a task is an

• Flowchart

• Algorithm

• Computer Scientist

• None of these

To carry out or put into effect is to

• think

• apply

• process

• execute

Scientists who apply their knowledge of computation to creating solutions using a computer system.

• Computer Scientist

• Programmer

• Teacher

• Principal

A diagram that represents an algorithm, work flow, or process, and uses geometric symbols connected by arrows to show the direction of the flow of action.

• Flowchart

• Algorithm

• Diagram

• Process

An algorithm that have directions that flow from one step to another is a

• Linear Algorithm

• Linear Flowchart

• process

• diagram

Decompose is to break a problem down into smaller pieces.

• True

• False
