    Algorithm
    Algorithm

    ➢ An algorithm is a set of well-defined instructions to solve a particular problem.


    ➢ It takes a set of input(s) and produces the desired output.
    ➢ For example,
    An algorithm to add two numbers :-
    Step 1: Start
    Step 2: Declare variables num1, num2 and sum.
    Step 3: Read values num1 and num2.
    Step 4: Add num1 and num2 and assign the result to sum.
    sum←num1+num2
    Step 5: Display sum
    Step 6: Stop
    Algorithm
    E.g. :- Find the largest number among three numbers

    Step 1: Start
    Step 2: Declare variables a,b and c.
    Step 3: Read variables a,b and c.
    Step 4: If a > b
    If a > c
    Display a is the largest number.
    Else
    Display c is the largest number.
    Else
    If b > c
    Display b is the largest number.
    Else
    Display c is the greatest number.
    Step 5: Stop

    Flowchart
    Flowchart

    ➢ Flowchart is a diagrammatic representation of sequence of logical steps of a program.


    Or
    Flowchart is a diagrammatic/graphical representation of an algorithm.

    ➢ A flowchart can be helpful for both writing programs and explaining the program to
    others.Programmers often use it as a program-planning tool to solve a problem.

    ➢ Flowcharts use simple geometric shapes to depict processes and arrows to show
    relationships and process/data flow.

    ➢ The process of drawing a flowchart for an algorithm is known as “flowcharting”.

    Rules
    Flowchart Rules

    Rules For Creating Flowchart :-

    Rule 1: Flowchart opening statement must be ‘start’ keyword.


    Rule 2: Flowchart ending statement must be ‘end’ keyword.
    Rule 3: Flowchart can have only one start and one stop symbol.
    Rule 4: All symbols in the flowchart must be connected with an arrow line.
    Rule 5: Arrows should not cross each other.
    Rule 6: On-page connectors are referenced using numbers.
    Rule 7: Off-page connectors are referenced using alphabets.
    Rule 8: General flow of processes is top to bottom or left to right.

    Advantages &
    Disadvantages
    Advantages
    Advantages of Flowchart :-
    ▪ Flowcharts are a better way of communicating the logic of the system.
    ▪ Flowcharts act as a guide for blueprint during program designed.
    ▪ Flowcharts help in debugging process.
    ▪ With the help of flowcharts programs can be easily analyzed.
    ▪ It provides better documentation.
    ▪ Flowcharts serve as a good proper documentation.
    ▪ Easy to trace errors in the software.
    ▪ Easy to understand.
    ▪ The flowchart can be reused for inconvenience in the future.
    ▪ It helps to provide correct logic.
    Disadvantages
    Disadvantages of Flowchart :-

    ▪ It is difficult to draw flowcharts for large and complex programs.


    ▪ There is no standard to determine the amount of detail.
    ▪ Difficult to reproduce the flowcharts.
    ▪ It is very difficult to modify the Flowchart.
    ▪ Making a flowchart is costly.
    ▪ Some developer thinks that it is waste of time.
    ▪ It makes software processes low.
    ▪ If changes are done in software, then the flowchart must be redrawn.
