Create an algorithm using a programming language that includes the use of sequencing, selections, or iterations.

COS Examples

Example: Use a block-based or script programming language

Step 1: Start

Step 2: Declare variables a, b and c.

Step 3: Read variables a, b and c.

Step 4: If a>b

        If a>c

            Display a is the largest number.

        Else

            Display c is the largest number.

  Else

        If b>c

            Display b is the largest number.

        Else

            Display c is the greatest number.

Step 5: Stop
