The collection of tasks is designed to acquire the initial skills of algorithmization and programming and is compiled on the principle of "from simple to complex." For each topic, there are 35 tasks of approximately the same complexity. The main focus is precisely on algorithmization, and not on mastering the designs of programming languages. The collection includes tasks for compiling programs with a single cycle (processing one-dimensional arrays with the development of typical algorithms, iterative cycles), with a multiple cycle (processing two-dimensional arrays), designing programs using routines, as well as tasks for processing symbolic information, principles of visual programming. In a separate chapter there are tasks of increased difficulty.
