Description of the Basic Algorithm Blocks and Structures Representation in Courses of Algorithm Development
Authors: Oldřich Horák, Libor Mitrovič
Abstract: This paper describes the possible ways to explain and represent basic blocks and more complicated structures of algorithm in courses of algorithm development. The introduction includes a brief concept of basic structures used in the flowchart for the expression of several parts of the algorithms. Next parts are dedicated to the problematic structures description, and design possibilities in the LEGO® MINDSTORMS® and Scratch environments. Last part concludes the information above and introduces possible ways for the future work.
