Answer:

Sequential Execution. Programs start by executing the first statement and continue by executing statements in sequence.

Sequential Execution

sequence of tasks

The idea of sequential execution is this:

First Task:  ____________

Second Task: ____________

Third Task:  ____________

To achieve a goal, three tasks must be performed, in order. Each task might be done with several (or very many) statements.

The flowchart shows the idea of sequential execution of tasks. Each box represents a task. The tasks could be large or small, depending on the level of detail that the flowchart shows.

Here is the example program, again:

LET MILES = 200                             <—— executed first
LET GALLONS = 10                            <—— executed second
PRINT MILES / GALLONS, "Miles per Gallon"   <—— executed third
END

QUESTION 4:

(Mentally) fill in the blanks in the diagram with the statements from the example program.

First Task:  ____________

Second Task: ____________

Third Task:  ____________
