An algorithm is a set of steps to solve a problem. Advantages include being easy to understand, debug, and being programming language independent. A flowchart is a pictorial representation of an algorithm using standard symbols. There are two levels of flowcharts: macro provides high level details, micro provides more details. Pseudocode is a generic way to describe an algorithm without a specific programming language by using plain English. It allows communicating the overall logic of a program but lacks standardization. Flowcharts provide a graphical representation of program logic.

Unit III

1. What is an Algorithm? An algorithm is a procedure consisting of a finite set of unambigous rules which specify a finite sequence of operations that provides the solution to a problem 2. State the Advantages of Algorithm? a) it is simple to understand step by step solution of the problem b) it is easy to debug c) an algorithm is independent of programming language 3. What is a Flow chart? Flowchart is a pictorial representation of an algorithm. It is often used by programmer as program planning tool for organising a sequence of step necessary to solve a problem by a computer. 4. What is selection logic. A selection logic is used for selecting the process path out of two or more alternative paths in the program logic. It uses control structures called if..then, if...then...else and switch... case 5. What are the different levels of Flowcharts? There are two levels of flowcharts they are, Macro level A flowchart that outlines the main segments of a program and shows lesser details is called macro flowchart Mico level A flowchart that provides more details is called micro flowchart . !ow man" #ine S$acing o$tions availa%le in &s'Word? !ine "pacing options are, i) "ingle ii) #.$ lines iii) %ouble iv) Atleast v) &'actly vi) Multiple (. What is )se*docode? (seudocode is one of the tools that can be writting a preliminary plan that can be developed into a computer program. (seudocode is ageneric way of describing an algorithm without use of any specific programming language synta' +. What are the te,t cases availa%le in &S' Word. There are $ te't cases available in Ms)*ord i) "entence case ii) lower case iii) +((&, -A"& iv) Title -ase v) toggle case -. State the #imitation of )se*docode? A graphic representation of program logic is not available

There are no standard rules to follow while using pseudocode. %ifferent programmers use their own stylw of writting pseudocode and hence communicating problems may occur due to absence of standardi.ation #.. /ifference %etween $se*docode and flowchart (seudocode is self)e'panatory. It does not require a separate documentation. It is written in plain english language pseudocode structure is similar to that of a programming language. /ut in flowchart, flow lines pass in all directions and thus their paths of directions do not parallel the final basic code 11.0,$lain the s"m%ol Flowlines1 2erminal and In$*t34*t$*t Flowlines are used to connect symbols Terminal this symbol is used to represent start and stop the program I01 it represents information entering or leaving the system 12.0,$lain $ro%elm solving logic program is a set of instruction written to carryout a particular tas2, so that the computer can process that tas2. /efore writting program
