1.1 Precise
algorithms
What Is an Algorithm?
An algorithm is a list of step-by-step instructions in order
to get a task done.

We use lots of different algorithms in our everyday lives.

Examples of algorithms

Following a recipe to
make cookies.

Getting ready for bed.

Following directions to
get to the park.

Getting dressed.
Directions as algorithms

Directions are a type of algorithms.

It’s important that algoritms are precise.


When an algorithms is precise, it includes all the
information that people need to follow it

Bee-Bot wants to buy a newspaper


Example
How should he get to the Kiosk?

Go straight ahead, then turn right.


Go straight ahead again, then turn left. A
Continue straight ahead. The Kiosk is on your left.

Question
Frogs love to eat bugs! Help our frog find his way to the yummy bug!

Use arrows to create your algorithm for the frog here:

Splitting task into smaller steps

Splitting algorithms into smaller steps can help us


to make more precise algorithms.
Brushing your teeth is an example of an algorithm you

follow everyday.

Debugging algorithms

Sometimes when we write precise algorithm, it


does not do exactly what we wanted it to do, so
they can still have mistakes in them.

These mistakes are called errors and errors in


algorithms are called bugs.

To make our algorithm work the way we want it


to, we must find the bug and fix it. This is called
debugging.

Example
In the following example, in the first algorithm, there is a bug,
which is to wear the shoes before the socks. In the second
algorithm the bug was corrected, which is wear the socks
before the shoes.

shoes. socks.
2. Put on your 2. Put on your
socks. shoes.
