| Question | Answer |
| Algorithm? | Set of instructions in specific order leading to a result. |
| What are the main characteristics of an algorithm? | 1. Precision. Steps are clearly defined, logical and ordered. 2. Uniqueness – each step is unique and the result depends of the inputs. 3. Finiteness – has a finite number of instructions |
| What are the stages of an algorithm? | 1. Inputs (initial state, initial conditions) 2. Process (when all the conditions and activities are done) 3. Outputs (final state, when we have a result) |
| How can we represent an algorithm? | 1. Pseudocode - write the instructions in natural language (with words). 2. Flowcharts – Graphical representation of an algorithm. 3. Code - instructions for computers. |
