Algorithm - Coding Handout

The document discusses algorithms, coding, programming, bugs, and debugging. An algorithm is a step-by-step set of instructions to solve a problem. Coding gives computers commands to respond to using programming languages. Bugs are coding errors that can cause programs to crash, and debugging is the process of finding and fixing bugs.

Algorithm
An algorithm is a detailed step-by-step instruction set or formula for solving a problem or
completing a task. In computing, programmers write algorithms that instruct the computer how
to perform a task. Writing out step-by-step instructions in plain English is what we call ‘pseudo
code’.

Examples:

⦿ A recipe for making food.


⦿ The method you use to solve addition or long division problems.
⦿ The process of folding a shirt or tying your shoes.
⦿ A lesson plan is an algorithm for a class

Coding / Programming
⦿ Coding is when a computer is given
commands to which it responds.
Computer programmers use many
different languages to write computer
programs. 

⦿ Coding is used to develop apps,


websites and software. Without it,
we’d have none of the major
technology we’ve come to rely on
such as Facebook, our smartphones,
the browser we choose to view our
favorite blogs or even the blogs
themselves. It all runs on code.

Bug
In computer technology, a bug is a coding error in a computer program.

Debugging
Debugging is the process of detecting and removing errors (also called ‘bugs’) in a software
code that can cause it to behave unexpectedly or crash.
