 uses "if...then" to tell a computer how to select a step or to tell the sequence that it should be executed

 Each individual step is written on its own line, helping to make it visually clear each step is separate and unique from the other steps.

 a command statement with a verb phrase that indicates an operation to perform (example: move forward)

a specific adverb or adjective that further qualifies or limits the meaning of a word (example: left shoe)
