ALGORITHM
FLOWCHART
Definition of Algorithm – a finite number of step-by-step
procedures to solve a given problem is called algorithm.
3 important control structure
1. Sequence- default mode. Sequential execution of code
statements (one line after another).
2. Conditional(branching)/selection- used for decision,
branching choosing b/w 2 or more alternative paths. E.g.
if statement, else, switch.
3. Iterative(looping/repetitive)- used for looping, i.e.
repeating a piece of code multiple times in a row. E.g.
while,do/while,for.
Flowchart
Graphical or pictorial representation of an algorithm is called
flowchart.

C program to add two numbers with algorithm, flowchart
Algorithm
Step1 – start
Step2 – declare a, b, sum
Step3 – read a & b
Step4 – sum= a+b
Step5 – display sum
Step6 – stop
Flowchart
start
Declare variable a,
b,sum
Read a & b
Add a,b and assign
value to sum=a+b
Print sum
stop
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int a, b, sum;
printf(“add two integer \n”);
scanf(“ %d %d”,&a,&b);
sum= a+b;
printf(“the sum value is %d”,sum);
return 0;
}
To create a directory – mkdir Name(Ranjitha)
To open ur current directory – cd Name(Ranjitha)
Create a new file – gedit filename3.c
To compile a program – cc filename3.c
To execute a program - ./a.out
1. Write an algorithm and design the flowchart for the C
program performing the following operations like addition,
subtraction, multiplication, division and Modulo. Display
the appropriate messages with output.

Program
int a,b,c,sum;
Printf(“add three integer”);
Scanf(“%d %d %d”,&a,&b,&c);
Sum=a+b+c;
Printf(“display the sum value %d”,sum);
Write an algorithm and design the flowchart for the C program
to find the Simple interest and Compound Interest.
Simple interest = (p*t*r)/100
Compound interest = p*((1+r/100)^t -1)
Lab Program-1 – Develop a program to solve simple computational
problems using arithmetic expressions and use of each operator
leading to simulation of a Commercial calculator.
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
int num1,num2;
float result;
char choice; //to store operator choice
printf("Enter first number: ");
scanf("%d",&num1);
printf("Enter second number: ");
scanf("%d",&num2);
printf("Choose operation to perform (+,-,*,/,%): ");
scanf(" %c",&choice);
result=0;
switch(choice)
case '+':
result=num1+num2;
break;
case '-':
result=num1-num2;
break;
case '*':
result=num1*num2;
break;
case '/':
result=(float)num1/(float)num2;
break;
case '%':
result=num1%num2;
break;
default:
printf("Invalid operation.\n");
Printf("Result: %d %c %d =%f\n",num1,choice,num2,result);
return 0;
