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:
1)Input a number.
2)Check to see if the number ends in 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8?
a) If yes, write "The number is even."
b) If no, write "The number is odd."
Which programming approach is Maryann using?
Object-oriented
Structured
Functional
Which term describes a series of zeros and ones that represent the basic unit of data that a computer processes?
Data
Switch
Byte

Basic mathematics taught in elementary school is a base 10 number system (which makes it easy if you are using your fingers).
Computers use a different number system, known as:
base 1.
base 2.
base 6.
base 8.
Which term describes a set of instructions that lists steps that must be followed in a particular order, starting at the beginning and continuing to the end?

a computer program.
a programming language.
a flowchart.
an algorithm.
