Sequential algorithm

Okay kiddo, today we will talk about sequential algorithms. An algorithm is like a set of instructions for a computer to follow to complete a task.

Now, imagine you are trying to bake a cake. First, you would get all the ingredients and measure them out. Then, you would mix them all together in a certain order. Finally, you would put the mixture in the oven and wait for it to bake.

This is a bit like how a sequential algorithm works. The computer follows a list of instructions one by one, in order, until it completes the task. First, it does one thing, then it moves on to the next thing, and then the next thing and so on.

It's like following a recipe for baking a cake, but instead of you doing it, the computer does it for you! Sequential algorithms can be used to solve all sorts of problems, like sorting a list of numbers or finding words in a document.

So, in summary, a sequential algorithm is a set of instructions that a computer follows one by one, in order, to complete a task.
