• Write a set of step-by step instruction for a student logging onto a school computer.
• Once you have written the instructions, convert them into a flowchart (use my example one to help you!)
Please help due in 14 minutes and I do not know what to do

Explanation:
A computer program generally tries to solve a well-defined problem using a well-defined algorithm. However, both the problem to be solved and the recipe/algorithm for solving it are initially written in natural language (very similar to day-to-day speaking). We need something much closer to an actual set of computer instructions, but going straight from natural language to computer code can be tedious and complex - especially if you need to do this many times for many different computer languages (and we very often do).
It is often far better to rewrite the algorithm as a set of specific instructions which is very similar to computer code, but not specific to any one computer. That's what we call pseudocode...it looks like computer instructions but cannot be executed on a computer.
