CompTIA ITF+ (FC0-U61) — Question 5

A developer is creating specific step-by-step instructions/procedures and conditional statements that will be used by a computer program to solve problems.
Which of the following is being developed?

Answer options

• A. Algorithm
• B. Software
• C. Pseudocode
• D. Flowchart

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Algorithm, as it specifically refers to a set of step-by-step procedures for problem-solving in programming. Software is a broader term that encompasses all programs, while Pseudocode is a way to represent algorithms in a simpler form, and Flowchart is a visual representation of a process, but does not provide the detailed instructions needed.
