Algorithm & Flowchart

1
Algorithm

▪ Before writing program, we need to write the steps to solve the problem
in simple English language

▪ This step by step procedure to solve a well-defined computational

▪ In short, algorithms are used to simplify the program implementation.

2
Flowchart

▪ It is a diagrammatic representation of an algorithm

▪ A flowchart is a type of diagram that represents a workflow or process

▪ A step-by step approach to solve a task by using some symbols

To decide the mark is A*, A, B, C or D. (mark > 90 =A*,
mark>80 =A, mark>60 =B, mark >40 =C, otherwise D.
INPUT mark

NO NO NO NO
Mark> Mark> Mark> Mark>
=90 80 60 40

Yes Yes Yes Yes

OUTPUT

 For Loop and While Loop

A for loop repeats statements as long as the last A while loop is to execute statements as
item in the range has not been reached yet. long as a condition holds.

Conditional
Draw a flowchart to reads two values, determines the largest value and prints the
largest value with an identifying message.

Basic Data Types
Integer : Whole Number

Double : Decimal Number

Char : One character

String : Text

Boolean : True or False
