Problem : How to make tea?
Algorithm :
Step 1 : Start
Step 2 : Take a steel pot
Step 3 : Pour water into the pot
Step 4 : Boil water
Step 5 : Add tea leaves and ginger
Step 6 : Add sugar and milk
Step 7 : Boil the mixture for some
time

Problem : Add and subtract two numbers
Algorithm :
Step 1 : Start
Step 2 : Input two numbers say a,b.
Step 3 : Add a and b and store it in c
Step 3 : Subtract b from a and store it in d
Step 4 : Display the computed sum , i.e. c
Step 5: Display the computed difference , i.e. d
Step 6 : Stop
Problem : Display greatest of three numbers

Algorithm :
Step 1 : Start
Step 2 : Input three numbers say a,b,c
Step 3 : if a>b , then go to step 6
Step 4 : if b>c,print b is the largest number and go to step 8
Step 5: print c is largest and go to step 8
Step 6 : if a>c,print a is the largest number and go to step 8
Step 7 : print a is largest number
Step 8 : Stop
Problem : To check whether a number is prime

Algorithm :
Step 1 : Start
Step 2 : Input number say a
Step 3 : x=2
Step 4 : if x>a-1 print a is prime and go to step 10
Step 6 : Divide a by x and store remainder in r
Step 7 : if r=0 and x<=a-1 print a is not prime and go to step 10
Step 8 : Increment x by 1
Step 9 : Go to step 4
Step 10 : Stop
FLOWCHART : Flowchart is a diagrammatical representation of
step by step approach to solve a problem. The steps are depicted
by different type of boxes connected with arrows.

COMMONLY USED FLOWCHART SYMBOLS :

a) Terminal Box : This is also called


START
start/stop box.It is oval shaped.When it
is used in beginning it is called START
box and when used at end it is
called STOP box. STOP
b) Input/Output Box : This
INPUT A,B
parallelogram shaped box is used
for input/otput and display
operations. PRINT C

c) Process Box : This A=0


rectangle shaped box is used B=A+C
for any type of computation C=A*D
D=A/B
d) Flow Lines: These arrowhead line depicts
direction of flow of data and information ,in
addition to connecting different boxes of
flowchart.

e) Decision Box : This diamond box is


used to represent decisions based on
IIF
a condition . NO
A>=0
YES

if a>=0 print a is non-negative


otherwise print a is negative

APRINT A APRINT A
IS -ve IS +ve
EXAMPLES OF FLOW CHART :
EXAMPLE 1 : Flowchart to compute simple interest.
Start

IINPUT
P,R,T P – PRINCIPAL
R- RATE
SI=P×R×T T- TIME
SI- SIMPLE INTEREST

PRINT SI

Stop
EXAMPLE 1 : Flowchart to check whether number is even or odd.
Start

IINPUT A

R=A MOD 2

NO IF YES
R=0

PRINT A PRINT A
IS ODD IS EVEN

Stop
EXAMPLE 1 : Flowchart to print numbers from 1 to 10
Start

x=1

PRINT x

IF
x=x+1
x<=10

Stop
