• Assembly

• Compiled

• Executed

• Sequential

Maryann is writing a set of instructions to determine whether a number is even or odd. She divided the problem into smaller, easier steps, as shown:

Input a number.

Check to see if the number ends in 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8.

If yes, write "The number is even."

If no, write "The number is odd."

Which programming approach is Maryann using?

• Object-Oriented

• Scripting

• Functional

• Structured
