Algorithm and Flowchart

The document discusses algorithms and flowcharts. It defines an algorithm as a step-by-step process to solve a problem with a finite number of steps. It outlines the key steps to write an algorithm and describes a flowchart as a graphical representation of the sequence of steps to solve a problem using standard symbols.

ALGORITHM
An algorithm is a Step By Step process to
solve a problem, where each step indicates
an intermediate task. Algorithm contains
finite number of steps that leads to the
solution of the problem.

HOW TO WRITE ALGORITHMS

Step 1: Define your algorithms input: Many algorithms take in data to


be processed, e.g. to calculate the area of rectangle input may be the
rectangle height and rectangle width.

Step 2: Define the variables: Algorithm's variables allow you to use it


for more than one place. We can define two variables for rectangle
height and rectangle width as HEIGHT and WIDTH (or H & W). We
should use meaningful variable name e.g. instead of using H & W use
HEIGHT and WIDTH as variable name.

Step 3: Outline the algorithm's operations: Use input variable for


computation purpose, e.g. to find area of rectangle multiply the
HEIGHT and WIDTH variable and store the value in new variable (say)
AREA. An algorithm's operations can take the form of multiple steps
and even branch, depending on the value of the input variables.

Step 4: Output the results of your algorithm's operations:

FLOWCHART
Flowchart is diagrammatic /Graphical
representation of sequence of steps to solve a
problem. Flowchart uses different symbols to
design a solution to a problem.

Rules and Guidlines to creat the
flowchart
The flowchart must having the start and stop
specification .

The flowchart based flowlines never intesect with one-


other.

The symbols of the flowchart must be properly specified


in the diagram.

The flowchar never be divided.

The flowchar never be created for the multiple


process in the single one.
