Students can flowchart these algorithms or write them in pseudocode and then peer assess/evaluate them for efficiency.

Learning about flowcharts and pseudocode might not be useful, but a basic understanding of data structures, control structures and algorithms is essential to anything beyond the most basic ...

When designing algorithms, it is important to make sure that all the steps are presented in the correct order. This is known as sequencing, and can be displayed in pseudocode or flowcharts.

Pseudocode is kind of the same way, but over time I've used it a lot less often - generally, if I feel the need to draw something out, it's because I haven't figured out how to express what I want ...

To clear things up, I drew you this flowchart on the back of an envelope so you can work out whether something is using AI or not. This originally appeared in our AI newsletter The Algorithm.
