PROG 211-Lesson 3-Algorithm

This document discusses writing algorithms in programming. It defines an algorithm as a step-by-step procedure to solve problems. The document outlines 6 steps to write an algorithm: 1) determine the outcome, 2) decide a starting point, 3) find the ending point, 4) list steps from start to finish, 5) determine how to accomplish each step, and 6) review the algorithm. It then provides two examples of algorithms - one to convert feet to centimeters and another to calculate the area of a rectangle.

What is an algorithm?
Generally, an algorithm is a step-by-step procedure to solve
Problems. A guide for installing new software, a manual for
assembling appliance, and even recipes are examples are
examples of algorithm. In programming, making an algorithm
is exciting, they are expressed in a programming language or in
a pseudo code.

11
continuation…….
Algorithm makes the whole procedure more efficient as well
as consistent. It is also helps in identifying decision points,
processes, and essential variables to solve the problem. A
programmer can also see and determine easily the error in a
particular process using an algorithm.

12
Steps in Writing an Algorithm in
Programming
1. Determine the outcome of your code.
2. Decide a starting point.
3. Finding the ending point of the algorithm.
4. List the steps from start to finish.
5. Determine how you will accomplish each step.
6. Review your algorithm.

13
Algorithm Examples
Example 1: Write an algorithm to convert the length in feet to
centimeter.

Step 1: Input Lft


Step 2: Lcm=Lft x 30
Step 3: print Lcm

14
Algorithm Examples
Example 2: Write an algorithm that will read the two sides of a
rectangle and calculate its area.

Step 1: Input W, L
Step 2: A = L x W
Step 3: print A
