Multiple Choice Questions on Algorithms: Grade 1 Computer Science

📚 Quick Study Guide

• 🤖 Algorithm: A set of instructions to solve a problem. Think of it like a recipe!
• ✏️ Steps: Algorithms are made of steps that follow each other in order.
• ➡️ Order Matters: The order of the steps is very important. Changing the order can change the result!
• ✔️ Example: An algorithm for making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich: 1. Get bread. 2. Put peanut butter on one slice. 3. Put jelly on the other slice. 4. Put the slices together.
• ✨ Simple Instructions: Algorithms should be easy to understand.
