Sequential algorithm approach in C language

The sequential algorithm approach in C language refers to the process of writing programs that execute sequentially, one instruction at a time, from the beginning to the end of the program. In other words, the program follows a linear sequence of instructions, where each instruction is executed in the order it appears in the program.

Here’s an example of a sequential algorithm approach in C language:

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
   int num1, num2, sum;
   
   // Read two integers from the user
   printf("Enter two integers: ");
   scanf("%d%d", &num1, &num2);
   
   // Compute the sum of the two integers
   sum = num1 + num2;
   
   // Display the sum to the user
   printf("The sum of %d and %d is %d\n", num1, num2, sum);
   
   return 0;
}

In this program, the instructions are executed sequentially, starting with the main() function. The first instruction reads two integers from the user using the scanf() function, and the second instruction computes the sum of the two integers. Finally, the third instruction displays the sum to the user using the printf() function.

Note that the sequential algorithm approach is suitable for programs that do not require complex control structures such as loops and conditionals. For more complex programs, it may be necessary to use other programming approaches such as modular programming, object-oriented programming, or functional programming to organize the code and simplify its development and maintenance.
