Writing An Algorithm, Pseudocode, and Flowchart

The document explains algorithms, pseudocode, and flowcharts. It states that an algorithm is a step-by-step procedure to solve problems, pseudocode describes algorithms in plain English, and a flowchart diagrams the logical sequence of steps. The objectives are to explain these concepts, recognize their importance, and create an algorithm, pseudocode, and flowchart.

FLOWCHART
LESSON 2
OBJECTIVES

SHOULD BE ABLE TO
• explain what an algorithm, pseudocode and flowchart are;
• Recognize the important of an algorithm, pseudocode,
and flowchart;
• Create an algorithm, pseudocode, and flowchart.
THINK ABOUT IT!

• Following instructions in a cookbook is same as following


instructions using an algorithm, pseudocode, or flowchart. These
are programming tools that show the step-by-step procedure in
solving computer programs.

WHAT IS ALGORITHM?
ALGORITHM

• An algorithm is a step-by-step procedure to solve the problems.


• It makes the whole procedure more efficient and consistent.
• It also helps in identifying decision points, processes, and essential
variables to solve the problem.
• A programmer can also see and determine easily the errors in a
particular process using algorithm.
WHAT IS PSEUDOCODE?
PSEUDOCODE

• A pseudocode is a description of an algorithm using


natural language, which makes reading of the program
easier.
• It uses short English-like statements to write codes for
programs before you actually create it in a specific
language.
WHAT IS A FLOWCHART?
FLOWCHART

• A flowchart is a diagram presenting the logical


sequence in which a combination of steps or
operations is to be performed.
