WA Computer Science ATAR Year 11: Designing algorithms in pseudocode
Students write language-independent pseudocode using sequence, selection, iteration and functions, and turn an IPO chart into pseudocode.
One content description from the full WA Computer Science ATAR Year 11 — Pseudocode and Algorithm Design journey. All 24 modules below are in that journey too, with the same content — add just these to a class, or the whole strand.
