Summary

An algorithm is a sequence of steps which will produce a solution to a problem.
An algorithm must be finite, non-ambiguous and effective.
The basic control structures used in specifying an algorithm are sequence, selection and repetition.
A compound statement allows several statements to be grouped together as a single entity.
The process of giving a value to an object is called assignment
A selection control structure allows the next statement to be executed to be determined based on the value of some condition.
A repetition control structure allows a statement or group of statements to be executed repeatedly.
