(2) Flowchart and Pseudocode

Flowchart

Flowcharts are written with program flow from top to bottom of a page.
Each command is placed in an appropriate-shaped box, and arrows are utilized to
control program progress.
Here are the different shapes used in creating a flowchart:

Oval - An oval indicates beginning or end of the program.


Parallelogram - A parallelogram is point where there is input to our output from
the program.
Rectangle - A rectangle indicates the assignment of the value to a variable,
constant, or parameter. The assigned value can be the result of the computation.
The computation would also be included in the rectangle.
Diamond - A diamond indicates a point where a decision is made.
Circle - Circles can be used to combine flow lines.
Arrows - Arrows indicate the direction and order of program execution.

Examples:
1. Create a flowchart to get the sum of 2 numbers.

2. Create a flowchart to determine if a number is even or odd.


3. Create a flowchart to display 1 to 5.

4. Create a flowchart to display 1 to n, where n is a user input.

5. Create a flowchart to check and display if a number entered by the user is greater than,
less than, or equal to 5.
Pseudocode

Pseudocode is a method for describing computer algorithms that combines natural


language with programming.
Rules in constructing pseudocode:
1. Arithmetic operations are represented by the standard symbols(+, -, *, /, **)
2. Keywords like PRINT, WRITE, READ, and others can be utilized.
3. Indentation should be used to indicate instruction loops and branches.

Examples:
1. Write a pseudocode for identifying if a number is even or odd.

2. Write a pseudocode for adding numbers from 1 to 5 (1+2+3+4+5)


3. Write a pseudocode for displaying "hello" n-times

4. Write a pseudocode that adds two numbers entered by the user.
