Within basic program flow charts, a 'sequence' construct ensures that statements run one after another without any branching or looping. What does this term specifically describe?
The order in which instructions are executed in a program.
A decision point in a program that can lead to different instructions being executed.
A collection of data items all of the same type.
The repetition of a set of instructions a certain number of times.
Sequence describes the linear, top-to-bottom execution of instructions. Because a computer follows commands exactly in the order provided, changing that order can alter or break program behaviour. Recognising this construct is essential before adding control structures such as selection (branching) or iteration (looping).
