• a moral guidelines on how to use computers and information system.

• a set of words, symbols and abbreviations used to communicate instructions to the computers.

• a way of approach in solving programming problems.

Define language translators.

• computer program that converts instructions written in one programming language into machine language.

• a fundamental style of solving programming problems.

• assembler, compiler and interpreter.

• True

• False

How can an algorithm of a problem can be presented?

• By writing the IPO chart/analysis

• By writing a pseudocode/draw a flowchart

• By writing a Java program

• By testing the program with multiple testing data set.

What are the importance of algorithm?

• as a guide to write program

• to find the best solution

• as a plan to create a problem

• to find the trickiest solution
