Putting Logic Together: Simple Algorithms
What is an algorithm? (a recipe analogy)
This slide covers "What is an algorithm? (a recipe analogy)" as part of Putting Logic Together: Simple Algorithms. Read slowly and try the example in your own words. What is an algorithm? (a recipe analogy) is an important step in Coding Fundamentals. We use plain language and short steps so you can learn even on a slow or shared computer. Think of one real example from your school, work, or community.
Key point: What is an algorithm? (a recipe analogy). Review this slide once more before moving on.
