Algorithms and selection | Intro to CS - Python | Khan Academy

What is an algorithm? Use algorithms to plan out your programs, and evaluate approaches to a problem based on correctness, efficiency, and readability. Explore how to use selection in your algorithms to branch control flow in response to new information. Courses on Khan Academy are always 100% free.
