DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ALGORITHM,
PSEUDOCODE,FLOWCHART AND PROGRAM

 Algorithm :
Systematic logical approach which is a well-
defined, step-by-step procedure that allows a
computer to solve a problem.
Algorithms can be expressed using natural
language, flowcharts, etc.
Informal definition of an algorithm
used in a computer
EXAMPLE : CONVERT TEMPERATURE FROM
FAHRENHEIT (℉) TO CELSIUS (℃)

 Algorithm:
Step 1: Read temperature in Fahrenheit,

Step 2: Calculate temperature with formula


C=5/9*(F-32),

Step 3: Print C,
FLOWCHART
A flowchart is the graphical or pictorial
representation of an algorithm with the help
of different symbols, shapes and arrows in
order to demonstrate a process or a program.
 The main purpose of a flowchart is to

analyze different processes, business,


educational, personal and of course
algorithms.
 Several standard graphics ae applied in a

flowchart
EXAMPLE : CONVERT TEMPERATURE
FROM FAHRENHEIT (℉) TO CELSIUS (℃)
PSEUDOCODE :
 It is a simpler version of a
programming code in plain English
which uses short phrases to write code
for a program before it is implemented
in a specific programming language.
 It does not have a specific

syntax like any of the programming


languages and thus cannot be
executed on a computer
EXAMPLE:
 GIVEN input Fahrenheit temperature F,

 COMPUTE C = (F - 32) * 5 / 9

 RETURN C
Pseudocode for three
constructs
PROGRAM :
 It is exact code written for problem following all
the rules of the programming language.
 #include <bits/stdc++.h>
 using namespace std;
 float Conversion(float n)
 {
 return (n - 32.0) * 5.0 / 9.0;
 }
 // driver code
 int main()
 {
 float n = 40;
 cout << Conversion(n);
 return 0;
 }
