Answer:

No. The short essays you write in English 101 are composed of the same elements as the longest novels.

Long programs are composed of the same elements you will learn in this course.

Control Structures

A control structure controls the order in which statements are executed. You have already seen all the control structures you need for even the largest of programs:

  1. Sequential Execution
  2. Loops
  3. Choice

This chapter emphasizes sequential execution. The next chapter looks at the other two control structures. Here is a program from a previous chapter:

LET MILES = 200                             <—— executed first 
LET GALLONS = 10                            <—— executed second
PRINT MILES / GALLONS, "Miles per Gallon"   <—— executed third
END

QUESTION 3:

(Review:) What is it called when statements execute one after another, as in this program?
