In the basic sequential model of programming, a computer program's instructions are executed one at a time. The program is viewed as a recipe and each step is to be performed by the computer in the order and amount specified. The designer of the program breaks up the software into a collection of tasks. Each task is performed in a specified order, and each task stands in line and must wait its turn.
