KS3 Algorithms

What is an algorithm?

• A set of steps for solving a problem.
• A type of programming language.
• A method for debugging code.
• A design for a computer.

How does a conditional statement work in a Scratch project?

• It allows a sprite to change actions based on a condition.
• It creates a loop that runs forever.
• It stops the program from running.
• It adds a new sprite to the project.

Why are loops helpful in programming?

• They are used to end a program.
• They create more conditional statements.
• They make the code run slower.
• They repeat actions without needing to write the same code multiple times.

What is the purpose of debugging an algorithm?

• To find and fix errors in the code.
• To create new sprites.
• To add more sounds to the project.
• To make the program run faster.

What can you use to control the flow of your Scratch program?

• Conditional statements.
• Variables only.
• Graphics only.
• Sounds only.
