Reviewed by: Robert Hampton

Published

In computer science, a "sequence" refers to a specific order in which instructions are executed in a program. It is a fundamental concept where actions, commands, or steps are carried out one after the other, from top to bottom. This means that each step is completed before moving on to the next one, ensuring the program runs smoothly and as expected. Understanding sequences helps in building clear and logical computer programs that perform tasks correctly, making it an essential part of learning to code.
