WA Computer Science ATAR Year 11: Desk checking and trace tables
Students follow algorithms by hand and record each variable, condition and output in trace tables to check the logic.
One content description from the full WA Computer Science ATAR Year 11 — Pseudocode and Algorithm Design journey. All 16 modules below are in that journey too, with the same content — add just these to a class, or the whole strand.
