Algorithms

  • 1st Step, Condition (yes/no) and 2 decisions

  • 1st step, 2nd step, condition (Yes/no) If no, stop, of yes, repeatv

  • Oval = Start/End

  • Arrow = A connector that shows relationships between the shapes

  • Parallelogram: Input/output

  • Rectangle: A process

  • Diamond: The decision/result

Basic Operations

  • You can use variables instead of numbers if you want to

  • The function uses order of operations to solve operations (Parenthesis, Multiply, Divide, Add/ Subtract)

Variables

  • Numerical Value can be stored in a variable

  • Reads RIGHT TO LEFT

  • num1 = 2
  • num2 = 4
  • num3 = 6
  • num1 = num2 + num3 # num1 is now 4 + 6, which is 10
  • num2 = num1 + num3 # num2 is now (the new num1) 10 + 6, which is 16

  • output: num1 = 10, num2 = 16, num3 = 6

Strings

  • Strings are a collection of characters (numbers, letters, spaces, special symbols, etc.)
