Question

Owen is writing a program that will lock his computer for one hour if the incorrect password is entered more than five times. This set of instructions is an example of

a loop
an algorithm
debugging
logical reasoning

Answer 1

A algorithm.

Step-by-step explanation:

A technique or process used to solve a problem is known as a programming algorithm. It is based on carrying out a series of predetermined actions that, when combined, indicate how to carry out a task, and your computer will always carry out that task in that same manner. An algorithm operates by following a set of input-based steps.

This algorithm is designed to lock someone out after a certain # of tries for a set period of time, so we know it's not a loop.

We can also eliminate debugging & logical reasoning because they aren't related to the program that he wrote.
