Project STEM Conditionals

Define pseudocode.

• instructions for how a program will work in plain language

• a diagram which shows how a program will run by connecting the different steps with arrows.

• Describes what the program is checking for and the actions that will happen if it is true or false.

• certain actions happen if condition is true, and a different set of actions happen if the condition is false

Define flowchart.
