"Algorithm" might be an intimidating word, but its meaning is pretty simple. An algorithm is a set of instructions. Future programmers will learn the difference between a good algorithm and a bad one through clear, accessible examples in this inviting introduction to coding concepts. They'll also learn how algorithms are behind many of the things they do on the internet, from searching for information to making video calls. Finally, they'll be introduced to two real-life programmers, Phiwa Nkambule and Corrinne Yu, and learn how coding has led to their professional success. 521 2 $a 2-4. 521 1 $a 7-9. 541 $d 20221024. 650 $a Computer algorithms $v Juvenile literature. 650 $a Computer programming $v Juvenile literature. 650 $a Coding theory $v Juvenile literature. 650 4 $a JUVENILE NONFICTION / Computers / Coding & Programming. 650 4 $a JUVENILE NONFICTION / Computers / Software. 650 4 $a JUVENILE NONFICTION / Careers. 830 $a First coding. 941 $a 3 952 $l LEPI975 $d 20231006013555.0 952 $l HHPC765 $d 20230518010318.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20230124010648.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D9F588D69BB411EDB33124244DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
