Introduction to Flowchart &

Algorithm
Key features of flow charts
 It is a diagrammatic representation of computation.

 It is also defined as a visual or graphical representation of


computation.

 Using flowcharts it is easy to understand and analyze the problem.

 It is an useful aid for programmers and system analysts.

 It is machine independent. They can be used for any type of logic.

 RAPTOR tool is used for creating flowcharts.

Basic Flowchart Symbols – contd..

Connector Symbol
Indicates that the flow continues where a matching
symbol (containing the same letter) has been placed.

Subroutine Symbol
Indicates a sequence of actions that perform a specific task
embedded within a larger process. This sequence of actions
could be described in more detail on a separate flowchart.

Representation of computation

 Flow chart and algorithm are used to represent


any computational problem.
– Flowchart: It is a graphical/pictorial
representation of computation

– Algorithm: Series of steps to solve a Problem


and use English like statements

Algorithm and Flowchart for area of the circle

Name of the algorithm : Compute the area of a circle

Step1: [Input the value for radius]


Input radius

Step 2: [Compute the area]


Area  3.1416 * radius * radius

Step 3: [Print the Area]


Print ‘Area of a circle =‘, Area

Step 4: [End of algorithm]


Stop

Algorithm for SI and CI
Name of the algorithm: Calculate SI and CI

Step1: [ Read the values of P, T and R]


Input P,R,T

Step 2: [Compute the simple interest]


SI  ( P*R*T)/100

Step 3: [Compute the compound interest]


CI  P*(1+ R/100)T -P

Step 4: [Print the simple and compound interest]


Print ‘Simple Interest=‘,SI
Print ‘Compound Interest=‘,CI

Step 5: [End of Algorithm]


Stop
