It was in the news
today that many people are now learning to code. What is coding?
Simply telling a computer exactly what it has to do. Coding is like
the magic wand of computers and it is an extremely useful life skill
in this technology obsessed world.
Before we jump into
coding, there are a few steps that must be considered. First of all,
we need an algorithm. An algorithm is a set of rules that solve a
problem. These need to be done in the right order, otherwise they
will not work.
This structure can
also apply to life and revision. Would you take an exam and then
revise afterwards? Hopefully not! When you write an algorithm, the
order of the instructions is very important.
