intro to c# programming and logic formulation

algorithm

list of instructions carrying out process, step by step

problem solving phase

produces ordered sequence of steps that describes solution of problem (1 of 2 phases in algorithm development)

implementation phase

implementing program (2 of 2 phases in alg development)

pseudocode

artificial and informal language that is similar to the english language

variables

names you give to a computer memory locations, which are used to store values in computer program

dont use special characters, dont start with numbers, no white space

3 rules in creating variables

input, process, output

steps in writing algorithm

flowcharting

often called schematic representation, graphical representation, or diagram

start / end

oval

connector / relationship

arrows / line

input / output

Parallelogram

process

rectangle

decision

diamond
