Python - Content - Manual (1) - 15

The document discusses the process of developing a computer program. The first step is to specify the main task of the program. This task is then broken down into smaller subtasks that contribute to the overall goal. Algorithms and flowcharts are used to develop a step-by-step framework to achieve the main goal in a logical order. An algorithm is defined as a procedure for solving a problem through calculations, reasoning, and data processing presented in a logical sequence. An example algorithm is provided for making instant noodles to illustrate writing step-by-step instructions.

To develop a program, the very first step that comes into the picture is to specify the

task which the machine needs to do. Once the task or the main objective of the
program is finalized, the task is broken into smaller tasks which altogether contribute
towards achieving the main goal. To make sure that the flow of the process is
proper, algorithms and flowcharts are used which help us into developing a stepwise
framework to achieve the main goal.

What is an Algorithm?
To write a logical step-by-step method to solve the identified problem is called
algorithm, in other words, an algorithm is a procedure for solving problems. In order
to solve a mathematical or computer problem, this is the first step of the procedure.
An algorithm includes calculations, reasoning and data processing. Algorithms can
be presented by natural languages, pseudocode and flowcharts, etc.

Activity

Goal: To give a glimpse of how to write a step by step algorithm for any
problem/process in a bidirectional manner.

To understand algorithms better, let us take an example of the process of making


instant noodles.

Basic steps to make any instant noodles are:
