Algorithm and Flowcharts

The document explains algorithms as sequential methods for solving problems, including a start and end, with an example of making a fruit salad. It also defines flowcharts as graphical representations of algorithms using standard symbols. Both tools aid in breaking down complex problems, visualizing processes, and planning solutions.

Algorithm and

Flowcharts
Process of Solving Practical Problems

 Analyze the problem before solving


 Problem solving has:
 Input: Things needed to solve the problem
 Process: Steps to follow to solve the problem
 Output: Result after solving the problem
What is an Algorithm?

 A method that includes all the steps to solve a problem in order


 Must have a start and end
 Steps must be written sequentially
Example Algorithm: Making a Fruit
Salad
 Start
 Get various fruits
 Wash fruits well
 Cut fruits into small pieces
 Put fruit pieces in a bowl
 Add sugar and mix
 Serve fruit salad
 End
What is a Flowchart?

 Graphical representation of algorithmic steps


 Uses standard symbols to show each action
Flowchart Symbols [Show symbols
and meanings for:]
 Start / End
 Input / Output
 Process
 Decision
 Flow arrows
Example Flowchart

Area of Rectangle [Show flowchart for calculating area of rectangle]


Benefits of Algorithms and Flowcharts

 Break down complex problems into steps


 Visualize problem-solving process
 Plan before implementation
 Easier to find and fix errors
Practice Exercise

Create an algorithm and flowchart for: [Choose a simple task like making
tea]
Summary

 Algorithms list steps to solve a problem


 Flowcharts visually represent algorithms
 Both help in planning and problem-solving
