PREFACE
This document has been prepared for students at Dr. Y. S. Parmar University of Horticulture
& Forestry, Nauni, Solan (HP) India. Software Engineer uses various programming
languages to create programs. Before writing a program, first needs to find a procedure for
solving the problem. The program written without proper pre-planning has higher chances of
errors.
Algorithm and flowchart are the powerful tools for learning programming. An algorithm is a
step-by-step analysis of the process, while a flowchart explains the steps of a program in a
graphical way. Algorithm and flowcharts helps to clarify all the steps for solving the problem.
For beginners, it is always recommended to first write algorithm and draw flowchart for
solving a problem and then only write the program.
Beginners find it difficult to write algorithm and draw flowchart. The algorithm can vary from
person to person to solve a particular problem. The manual will be useful for the students to
learn algorithm and flowchart. It includes basics of algorithm and flowchart along with
number of examples. Software ClickCharts by NCH (unlicensed version) has been used to
draw all the flowcharts in the manual.
