Ch-1: Algorithms & Flowcharts (Python Content Manual)

Q1) What is an algorithm? (page 15)


• The method to write a logical step-by-step solution of the identified problem is called algorithm. In other
words, an algorithm is a procedure for solving problems.
• In order to solve a mathematical or computer problem, this is the first step of the procedure.
• An algorithm includes calculations, reasoning and data processing. Algorithms can be written and presented
by any natural languages.
• We need to mention the Start and Stop of the algorithm as the first and last steps.
• Below is the example of an algorithm to find the larger number between two.
Step 1: Start
Step 2: Declare variables a and b.
Step 3: Read variables a and b.
Step 4: If a > b
Display a is the largest number.
Else
Display b is the largest number.
Step 5: Stop

Q2) What is a flowchart? (page 18)


• 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.
• Humans need visual representations to understand the information well and communicate it effectively.
• Flowcharts are used to break a process into smaller parts and elaborate it using visual representations.

Q3) List down all the standard graphics for making a flowchart. (page 18)

Terminal Box Input/ Output Process/ Instruction


(Start/ Stop)

Decision/ Conditional Connector/ Arrow/ Flow lines


Q4) Represent the below algorithm using a flowchart. (hint on page 19)
Step 1: Start
Step 2: Declare variables a and b.
Step 3: Read variables a and b.
Step 4: If a > b
Display a is the largest number.
Else
Display b is the largest number.
Step 5: Stop
