Define Program.
A Program is a set of commands that are given to the computer to carry out a specific task.
Define Algorithm.
An Algorithm is a list of well-defined steps or instructions for completing a task systematically. An Algorithm
helps us to think logically and to find out the best way to solve a problem and reach a solution.
Define Flow Chart.
A Flow chart is a diagrammatic representation of steps to be taken to solve a problem. A Flow chart is
pictorial in nature and facilitates easy understanding of the solution.
What is Looping ?
Repeating a set of instructions until a specific condition is fulfilled is known as Looping.
What is the use of a Terminal box ?
A Terminal Box is use to indicate the beginning and the end of a flow chart. It is represented by the oval
shaped symbol.
What is the use of connector symbol ?
A Flow chart may be long and span one of more pages. A connector is used to show a jump from one point in
the process flow to another.
