Sequences & Events

Sequences

A sequence is the order in which instructions are executed in a computer program. Just like following steps in a recipe, a computer performs commands one after another in the exact order they are written. If the order changes, the result may also change. Understanding sequences helps to learn how to organise instructions logically so that a program behaves as expected.

Events

An event is something that triggers a program to perform an action. In many programs and games, actions happen when a specific event occurs, such as clicking a button, pressing a key, or starting the program. Events allow programs to respond to user input and make applications interactive. By using events, students can create programs that react to what the user does.
