Document Summary

Once actions have been performed, the question is asked again (creating a lout) Control structure is the general term used for keywords in a programming language that allow the programmer to control, or redirect, the flow of the based on a decision. Provide a visual representation of the patterns the algorithm follows. Specific shape symbols indicate program behaviours and decision types: diamonds binary decision and branching action will be performed, rectangles indicate a program instruction. Programming language for the problem is chosen then translates the algorithm into that language. Translating an algorithm into a programming language is the act of coding a programming language is kind of code for the set of instructions the cpu knows how to perform. Computer programming languages use special words and strict rules to enable programmers to control the cpu without having to know all of its hardware details.
