Definition of Algorithm
To write a logical step-by-step method to solve the problem is called the
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
in the process. An algorithm includes calculations, reasoning, and data
processing. Algorithms can be presented by natural languages, pseudocode,
and flowcharts, etc.
Definition of Flowchart
A flowchart is the graphical or pictorial representation of an algorithm with
the help of different symbols, shapes, and arrows to demonstrate a process
or a program.
A flowchart is a visual representation of the sequence of steps and
decisions needed to perform a process. Each step in the sequence is noted
within a diagram shape. Steps are linked by connecting lines and directional
Difference between Algorithm and Flowchart
If you compare a flowchart to a movie, then an algorithm is the story of that movie. In
other words, an algorithm is the core of a flowchart. Actually, in the field of computer
programming, there are many differences between algorithm and flowchart regarding
various aspects, such as the accuracy, the way they display, and the way people feel
about them. Below is a table illustrating the differences between them in detail.
Algorithm Flowchart
It is a procedure for solving problems. It is a graphic representation of a process.
The process is shown in step-by-step instruction. The process is shown in block-by-block information
diagram.
It is complex and difficult to understand. It is intuitive and easy to understand.
It is convenient to debug errors. It is hard to debug errors.
The solution is showcased in natural language. The solution is showcased in pictorial format.
It is somewhat easier to solve complex problem. It is hard to solve complex problem.
It costs more time to create an algorithm. It costs less time to create a flowchart.
Algorithm: Flowchart:
Step 1: Initialize X as 0,
Step 2: Increment X by 1,
Step 3: Print X,
Step 4: If X is less than 20 then go back to step
2.
