In which language is an algorithm written?
Short answer. Plain English, not Java.
How must an algorithm end?
With a Stop step, because it must be finite.
Remember
| Numbered steps, plain English |
| Always end with Stop |
Stuck halfway through a program? Plan first. An algorithm is numbered steps in plain English. Read n. Add each last digit to sum. Print sum, then stop. Write numbered steps in plain English. Always end with Stop.
