1. What is a program?
A Program is a series of instructions that are executed to complete a task or solve a problem.
The challenge is to piece together groups of instructions in the proper format and sequence to successfully solve the problem at hand

2. When programming we are limited to a relative small set of instructions, that are dependent on the language with which we are programming?

3. instructions to write out It is important using grammar proper.
“It is important to write out instructions using proper grammar”
C’est tres important d’utiliser les instructions qui appartient au language que vous avez choisis.

4. With each language we have distinct grammar or syntax to follow.
Ex:
Pascal
writeln ‘Hello’
C++
cout << “Hello”;
Basic
print “Hello”

5. If you do not follow the correct syntax or use instructions belonging to the language, the computer will not understand (and will report an error!)
These types of errors are called syntax errors.

6. Exercise: Place the following instructions in a correct sequence.
Problem: Getting ready for school.
Brush Teeth
Eat breakfast
Take a shower
Get out of bed
Wake up
Getting dressed.

7. Wake up
Get out of bed
Eat breakfast
Take a shower
Brush Teeth
Get dressed

8. Reflection
Were there any instructions that I may have left out? What were they?
What assumptions did I make when ordering my list?

9. The IPO Model Input Processing Output
The IPO model is a framework that can be used to solve a problem. It effectively models how a computer program would solve it.
We get input from the user.
The computer follows the instructions and performs tasks.
We then output our results.

10. Algorithms
An algorithm is a procedure or list of instructions that anyone can use to solve a problem.
An algorithm can be extremely detailed, instructing not only what is to be done, but also how it is to be done.
It could also be very general leaving out the minutia.
