49. AQA GCSE (8525) SLR8 – 3.2 The 3 basic programming constructs


About this video

AQA Specification Reference - Section 3.2.1 - 3.2.5 and 3.2.7

This video explains the three basic programming constructs of sequence, selection and iteration. It is assumed that students already have some programming experience with these constructs, and the purpose of this video is to marry the theory of programming to their practical experience in preparation for exams. Securing the key terminology.

Don't forget, whenever the blue note icon appears in the corner of the screen, that is your cue to take notes about the content being shown on the current slide.
