Algorithms, Pseudocode, Flowchart

What is an algorithm?

• A decision.

• A flowchart.

• A pseudocode.

• An ordered sequence of instructions that performs some tasks.

What is a compact and informal high-level description of a computer programming algorithm that uses the structural conventions of a programming language, but is intended for human reading rather than machine reading?

• Algorithm.

• Pseudocode.

• Website.

What do you call an ordered sequence of unambiguous and well-defined instructions that performs some task and stops in finite time?

• An event.
