Algorithm design and problem-solving

The Algorithm Design and Problem-Solving unit will develop your understanding of how algorithms are developed, tested and evaluated, as well as how algorithms can be communicated through flowcharts and pseudocode.

The unit is split into ten topics:

Conditional statements

Loop structures

Algorithm purpose

Producing and evaluating algorithms

Testing, validation and verification

Trace tables

This web page should be used together with the Algorithm Design and Problem-Solving objectives booklet. The links below provide the information that you need to complete the learning objectives in the booklet as well as tasks to help you develop your understanding of the unit.

The unit will be assessed through a 45 minute written test comprised of recent examination questions associated with the content of this unit.
