.4 KO - Algorithms, Programming in Scratch

The document explains programming as the process of converting a correctly sequenced algorithm into a computer program using Scratch, a visual programming language. It outlines two methods for writing algorithms: pseudocode, which uses an English-like language, and flowcharts, which use graphical symbols. Additionally, it mentions that there are three programming constructs involved in programming.

4 Algorithms, Programming in Scratch

What is programming?
Once we have an algorithm that has been correctly sequenced, we can convert
this algorithm into a computer program that will carry out the instructions in
the correct order.
To create a program, we are going to use Scratch.

Scratch
Is a visual programming language – that means we don’t see our code as lines
of text; we see it as blocks that we connect together.

Algorithms
Is developing a step-by-step solution to the problem, or the rules to follow to
solve the problem.

There are two ways to write algorithms:


Pseudocode and Flowcharts.
Pseudocode: Is an algorithm that is written in an English like language that
everyone can understand. The scratch interface is divided in to the following categories:
Flowchart: Is a graphical way of writing algorithms using symbols.
