Sequencing: The Most Simple Type of Program Uses Sequencing, A Set of Instructions Carried Out One After Another

The document discusses three programming concepts: sequencing, which involves carrying out instructions one after another; flowcharts, which are used to plan programs and include shapes to represent start/end points, processes, inputs/outputs, and decisions; and strings, which are collections of text characters that are indicated with quote marks in code. It also includes a flowchart example and matching Python code to demonstrate sequencing.

Flowcharts
Flowcharts are used to plan programs before they are created.

The start or end of the program. There may be more than one
way to complete the algorithm and there may be more than
one end box.

A process, that is doing something for example calculating
something.

An input or output, for example:
Input num1

A decision, YES or NO, or a choice of paths, for example:
Is it a weekday?

A subroutine or self-contained program that can be used as
required.

When a flowchart will not fit onto a single page we use this
shape to show how the sections of the flowchart connect
together.
Strings
In programming we usually call normal text a string.
A string is a
collection of
alphabetic and/or
numeric characters.
We tell the
computer
something is a string
by putting quote
marks around it.
Whats your
name?

Match the Python code to the correct part of the flowchart.

Python
Open the Python IDLE. Start a new program by clicking
on File > New File.
Enter the code from the previous slide.
Save your program as sequencing.py and press F5 to run
it.
