What is an Algorithms?
A step-by-step procedure for solving a problem is called Algorithms.”
Coding algorithms are especially useful because they can solve big problems much more quickly than humans can. In fact, certain problems that are too complex to solve mathematically can be solved with algorithms.
Let’s see how we can write algorithms to solve a given problems-
Step 1: Start
Step 3: Read values for num1, num2.
Step
Making an algorithm of the sum of two numbers-
Step 2: Declare variables num1, num2 and sum.
4: Add num1 and num2 and assign the result to a variable sum.
Step 5: Display sum
Step 6: Stop
Algorithm for adding two numbers
Code It Create a Script in Scratch, along with microbit to arrange all these given numbers in a sequence:
Code It:
To run this script press the button ‘A’ in the microbit and it will show the correct sequence of numbers in Scratch.
