    Algorithm in Programming

    In programming, algorithm is a set of well defined instructions in sequence to solve the


    problem.

    Q. Qualities of a good algorithm

    1. Input and output should be defined precisely.


    2. Each steps in algorithm should be clear and unambiguous.
    3. Algorithm should be most effective among many different ways to solve a
    problem.
    4. An algorithm shouldn't have computer code. Instead, the algorithm should be
    written in such a way that, it can be used in similar programming languages.

    Q. Write an algorithm to find the largest among three different numbers


    entered by user.

    Step 1:
    Start
    Step 2:
    Declare variables a,b and c.
    Step 3:
    Read variables a,b and c.
    Step 4:
    If a>b
    If a>c
    Display a is the largest number.
    Else
    Display c is the largest number.
    Else
    If b>c
    Display b is the largest number.
    Else
    Display c is the greatest number.
    Step 5: Stop

    Q. Flowchart In Programming

    Flowchart is a diagrammatic representation of an algorithm. Flowchart are very


    helpful in writing program and explaining program to others.

    Q. Symbols Used In Flowchart

    Different symbols are used for different states in flowchart, For example:
    Input/Output and decision making has different symbols. The table below describes
    all the symbols that are used in making flowchart
    Q. Draw flowchart to find the largest among three different numbers entered by
    user.

    Q. Interpreter Vs Compiler: Difference between Interpreter and Compiler

    We generally write a computer program using a high-level language. A high-level


    language is one which is understandable by us humans. It contains words and
    phrases from the English (or other) language. But a computer does not understand
    high-level language. It only understands program written in 0's and 1's in binary,
    called the machine code. A program written in high-level language is called a source
    code. We need to convert the source code into machine code and this is
    accomplished by compilers and interpreters. Hence, a compiler or an interpreter is a
    program that converts program written in high-level language into machine code
    understood by the computer.

    The difference between an interpreter and a compiler is given below:

    Interpreter Compiler

    Translates program one statement at a Scans the entire program and translates
    time. it as a whole into machine code.

    It takes less amount of time to analyze It takes large amount of time to analyze
    the source code but the overall the source code but the overall execution
    execution time is slower. time is comparatively faster.
    Generates intermediate object code
    No intermediate object code is
    which further requires linking, hence
    generated, hence are memory efficient.
    requires more memory.

    Continues translating the program until It generates the error message only after
    the first error is met, in which case it scanning the whole program. Hence
    stops. Hence debugging is easy. debugging is comparatively hard.

    Programming language like Python, Programming language like C, C++ use


    Ruby use interpreters. compilers.

    Q. How do you write an algorithm?


    Steps
    1. Keep in mind that algorithm is a step-by-step process.
    2. Depending upon programming language, include syntax where necessary.
    3. Begin.
    4. Include variables and their usage.
    5. If they are any loops, try to give sub number lists.
    6. Try to give go back to step number if loop or condition fails.

    Q. What is an example of an algorithm?

    A programming algorithm is a computer procedure that is a lot like a recipe (called a


    procedure) and tells your computer precisely what steps to take to solve a problem
    or reach a goal. ... We looked at a simple example of an algorithm that does some
    preparation, asks a user for an email address, and decides what to do.
    Q. What are the types of algorithms?

    Algorithm types we will consider include:

     Simple recursive algorithms.


     Backtracking algorithms.
     Divide and conquer algorithms.
     Dynamic programming algorithms.
     Greedy algorithms.
     Branch and bound algorithms.
     Brute force algorithms.
     Randomized algorithms.
    Q. What are the steps to create an algorithm?

     Step 1: Obtain a description of the problem. This step is much more difficult than it
    appears. ...
     Step 2: Analyze the problem. ...
     Step 3: Develop a high-level algorithm. ...
     Step 4: Refine the algorithm by adding more detail. ...
     Step 5: Review the algorithm

    Q. How many types of flowchart exist?

    The four types of flowcharts are basic, process, deployment and opportunity.

    Q. Is algorithm and pseudocode same?

    An algorithm is a systematic logical approach used to solve problems in a computer


    while Pseudocode is the statement in plain English which may be translated later
    into a programming language (program). ... You can base your pseudo code on an
    algorithm. This contains transferable steps to implement.

    Q. What are the characteristics of an algorithm?

    The characteristics of a good algorithm are: Precision – the steps are precisely


    stated (defined). Uniqueness – results of each step are uniquely definedand only
    depend on the input and the result of the precedingsteps. Finiteness –
    the algorithmstops after a finite number ofinstructions are executed.

    Significance: Creating a PowerPoint presentation is an important process for


    businesses looking to produce a presentation once and make it available infinitely.
    Power Point presentations may be placed on a website, sent to customers,
    downloaded from an FTP site or accessed from a company intranet.

    Q. What are the advantages of a power point presentation?

    Audience Size: PowerPoint slides are generally easier to see by a large audience


    when projected than other visual aids. Easy to present: you can easily advance the
    slides in the presentation one after another with a simple key stroke while still
    maintaining eye contact with the audience.

    Q. What are the disadvantages of a power point presentation?

    The disadvantage associated with Power point presentations is the system requirements


    involved. A computer, projector, screen and electricity will all be required. It also will be
    necessary to dim the lights in the room to allow for proper viewing. The
    other disadvantage is the risk of technical difficulties.

    Technical Troubles: Technology has its advantages, but one of its


    distinct disadvantages is its ability to fail. Technical troubles can hamper your presentation
    and lead to an awkward delay. Rather than grabbing your audience's attention, they're left
    bored while you try to get your presentation up and running.
