This document discusses problem solving and basics of flowcharts. It contains information about the distribution of marks and periods for different units in Computer Science. It describes the general steps of problem solving as identifying the problem, analyzing it, developing solutions, implementing a solution and measuring results. It provides examples of problem solving for coding problems. It also introduces basic flowchart symbols and shows how flowcharts can be used to represent solutions to problems like finding discounted price, simple interest, average of numbers and more. Pseudocode is also introduced as a way to represent algorithms.

PROCESS. A flowchart can also be defined as a diagrammatic representation of
an algorithm, a step-by-step approach to solve a task/problem.

Pseudocode is an ARTIFICIAL and INFORMAL language that helps programmers


develop algorithms. Pseudocode is a "text-based" step by step detail
(algorithmic) design of a solution. Pseudocode does not follow syntax of any
specific programming language.
