12/8/2008 - Happy birthdays!

Good afternoon!

Today we are celebrating birthdays, including ICAs Immaculate Conception celebration! Since today is a pizza party day, we will write an algorithm for ordering pizza online, paying for the delivery, and eating it.

First, a new tech word for today: deconstruction
Deconstruction involves breaking a task down into subtasks, and breaking down subtasks into step-by-step instructions. The subtasks and step-by-step activities are used to create an alogoritym.

Today's assignment (worth 50 points):
Write the algorithm for ordering a pizza online, paying for the delivery, and then eating the pizza. Be sure you identify the 3 major sub-tasks (10 points), and then list the steps under each subtask (30 points).
