This assignment involves creating an algorithm. An algorithm (pronounced AL-go-rith-um) is a procedure or formula for solving a problem. We will see in future weeks how the detailed steps of this type of procedure relate to pseudocode and, in general, to the development of programming flow and logic."An algorithm is a specific set of instructions for carrying out a procedure or solving a problem, usually with the requirement that the procedure terminate at some point. Specific algorithms sometimes also go by the name method, procedure, or technique. The word algorithm is a distortion of al-Khwārizmī, a Persian mathematician who wrote an influential treatise about algebraic methods." Weisstein, E. (n.d.). Algorithm. Retrieved from mathworld.wolfram.com/Algorithm.html

Resources: 

  • Watch the Khan Academy video "Intro to Algorithms."
  • Watch Lesson 1, "Programming Basics," of the Lynda.com® video "Foundations of Programming: Fundamentals" with Simon Allardice.

Identify a common task that might occur regularly. The task should be one that might occur in a business setting rather than one in someone's personal life.Create a 1-page Microsoft® Word document that lists the 15 to 20 steps required to perform the identified task. The steps should be written in a clear and easy-to-read format so that someone else could complete them without further explanation. When describing the steps:

  • They should be observable
  • Use an active verb and object format ("Open the desk drawer", "Ask the user for the amount")
  • Use short phrases, as opposed to complete sentences. But, ensure it is clear and understandable to someone not familiar with the process.
