Solutions


algorithm - ANSWER✔✔-a process or set of rules to be followed in calculations or other problem-solving

operations


argument - ANSWER✔✔-a value that you pass to a routine. For example, if SQRT is a routine that returns

the square root of a value, then SQRT(25) would return the value 5. The value 25 is the argument.

break causes the remaining cases to be skipped--it prevents "falling through" to other cases.
