In Lyla in the Loop: Vacuum Hockey, players guide a robot by placing Skills
arrows and boosters on a grid to reach the goal. It helps students learn step-by-step thinking
and fix mistakes by testing and improving their instructions.

FLOW OF INSTRUCTIONS

The flow of instructions means the order in which steps are followed. In an algorithm,
the instructions always flow in a particular direction, usually from top to bottom.

Just like reading a book, you start at the first step and move forward, one step at
a time. This is called the flow of control and shows how one step leads to the next.

Types of Flow

The flow of instructions in an algorithm can happen in different ways, depending on
the problem and the steps involved. There are three main types of flow. Let us look
at each one carefully.

Sequence

In sequence, the steps happen one after another, in a fixed order, from start to
finish. No choices, no repeating, just follow the steps straight through. This is the

simplest type of flow.

Example:
Problem: Making a glass of chocolate milk

Algorithm:

Step 1 Start

Step 2 Go to the kitchen and take a clean mug.

Step 3 Add two teaspoons of hot chocolate powder
into the mug.

Step 4 Pour hot water into the mug.
Step 5 Stir the mixture well with a spoon.
