2-Structured Program Theorem

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structured_program_theorem to fully grasp the six basic computer operations and the Structure Theorem. Then:

1. Explain what a control structure is. The assignment is NOT “explain the three control structures.” Do not make any reference to the three specific control structures. Explain the general concept. This is a difficult task requiring thinking. Therefore … think! Use an analogy if that helps.

2. Explain the Structure Theorem in your own language in such a way that an intelligent junior high student would comprehend it. Do not copy/paste.

3. Consider the software program that runs the operations of an ATM. From the workings of (i.e., your external interaction with) the ATM, you can logically deduce certain conclusions about the internal workings of this program. Give an example from this software program for each of the following control structures:

· a. sequence

· b. selection

· c. repetition
