programming
Programming _____ involves human thinking to give correct and valid mathematical reasons (logic) in a step-by-step manner when writing a computer program that will perform a particular task or solve a particular problem.
logic
_________ programming logic is a set of statements that is executed only once.
Sequential
In _______ Programming logic, the same sets of statements are repeated a certain number of times.
Looping
_________ Programming logic, also known as selective programming logic, selects one choice from a number of different operations that can be performed based on the outcome of some test condition applied to a variable such as a test score (ex. assign an A if test score is >= 90.
Decision
