ALGORITHM

FLOWCHART AND
PSEUDOCODE
ALGORITHM
 An algorithm is defined as a sequence of steps to
solve a problem(task).
 An algorithm is also defined as a plan to solve a
problem and represents its logic.
What is a Flowchart?
It is a picture (graphical representation) of the problem solving
process.
A flowchart gives a step-by-step procedure for solution of a problem.
Elements of a flowchart: •
 Various geometrical shaped boxes represent the steps of the
solution.
 The boxes are connected by directional arrows to show the flow of
the solution.
Uses of a flowchart:
 To specify the method of solving a problem. •
 To plan the sequence of a computer program.
 Communicate ideas, solutions.
Common Flowchart Symbols
Terminator: An oval flow chart shape indicating the start
or end of the process.
Process: A rectangular flow chart shape indicating a normal
process flow step.
Decision: A diamond flow chart shape indication a branch
in the process flow.
Connector: A small, labeled, circular flow chart shape used
to indicate a jump in the process flow.

Data: A parallelogram that indicates data input or output


(I/O) for a process.
Drawing a Flowchart
 Identifyinput and output.
 Apply reasoning skills to solve the problem.
 Draw the flowchart using the appropriate
symbols and arrows to show the sequence of
steps in solving the problem.
Examples of Flowchart:
FLOWCHART WITH DECISION MAKING
Problem:Find the sum of five numbers.
What is a Pseudocode? ( SOO-doh-kohd)
It is a method of describing computer
algorithms using a combination of
natural language and programming
language.
Flowchart Pseudocode
Begin Begin
input hours input x, y
input rate sum = x + y
pay = hours print sum
*rate End
print pay
End
EXERCISE 1:
