In some activities, the order of steps might get changed but still,
                 the completion of the activity is successful. Let us understand

                 with an example.

                 Your birthday is approaching soon and you wish to invite all your
                 friends to a party that you are throwing.

                 Now, you have to call them one by one and invite them to the

                 party. Do you think that you should follow a certain order while
                 inviting your friends or simply call them in any order you like?

                 In such a situation, we can change the sequence of steps and still

                 be able to complete the activity successfully.




                          THE COMPUTER AND STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS


                 We  all know by  now that  unlike  us, the
                 computer cannot think and take decisions on
                 its  own. Instead,  a computer  uses  stepwise

                 instructions  called  programming given by
                 us.  Programming  is  a  process  of  creating  a
                 set of instructions that tell a computer how to

                 perform a particular task.
