CSIS 110 notes
(super basic stuff, only read if you don't know anything about CS)
Algorithm discovery and design

Pseudocode is a tool for designing algorithms buut does not run on a computing device.

Natural Language is 
	-expressive and easy to use
	-verbose, ambigious, unstructured
Programming Languages are
	-structured and designed for computers
	-grammaticly fussy and cryptic
Pseudocode lies somewhere in between

Operations used to contstruct algorithms 
Sequential operations perform a single task
	-computation is a simple numerica calculation
	-input gathers data values from outside the algorithm
	-output sends data to outside world
Variable (you are stupid if you don't know what a variable is)(Its a named storage location on computer to hold a data value)

Control operations change the normal flow of control
Conditional statement asks a question and selects among alternative options
	1.) evaluate if the true/false condition
	2.) If true, do the first set, skip second
	3.) if false, skip first, do second
    
An Iteration is a operation that causes looping, repeating a block of instructions
	-Continuation condition is a test to see if while loop should continue
    -loop body intructions to perfoorm repeatedly
