Flow chart and Algorithms

Lecture Notes
Algorithm Vs. Flowchart

• Algorithms and flowcharts are different


mechanisms used for designing different
programs, particularly in computer
programming. An algorithm is a step-by-step
summary of the procedure, while on the other
hand, a flowchart illustrates the steps of a
program graphically.
Algorithm
• An algorithm is a procedure or set of rules
that defines how a program is to be executed.
Or we can say that it is a set of instructions for
solving a well-defined computational problem.
Flow chart
• A flowchart is a graphical representation of the
steps a program takes to process data. In this, we
can use several geometric patterns to illustrate
the numerous actions the program carries out.
• With the help of the flowchart, the designer can
efficiently segregate the various elements of the
process. Also, it facilitates the analysis by giving
step-by-step instructions on the problem.
Example 1: Find the Sum of Two
Numbers Entered
Step 1: Read the Integer A.
Step 2: Read Integer B.
Step 3: Perform the addition by using the
formula: C= A + B.
Step 4: Print the Integer C.
Flow chart
Example 2:

Determining the Largest Number Among All the


Entered Integers

Step 1: Read the Integer A.


Step 2: Read Integer B.
Step 3: If B is greater than A, then print B, else A.
Flow chart
Example 3:
Find the Fibonacci series till term ≤ 1000

Step 1: Declare the variables i, a, b, show.


Step 2: Enter the values for the variables, a=0, b=1, show=0
Step 3: Enter the terms of the Fibonacci series to be printed, i.e=, 1000.
Step 4: Print the first two terms of the series.
Step 5: Loop the following steps:
Show = a + b
a= b
b = show
Add 1 to the value of i each time.
Print Show

Example 4
Calculate the Sum of The First 50 Numbers

Step 1: Declare number N= 0 and sum= 0


Step 2: Determine N by N= N+1
Step 3: Calculate the sum by the formula: Sum= N + Sum.
Step 4: Add a loop between steps 2 and 3 until N= 50.
Step 5: Print Sum.

Example 5
Arrange the numbers X, Y, Z in descending order

Step 1: Input the value for variables X, Y, Z.


Step 2: Read the integers X, Y, Z.
Step 3: Check if x>y, x>z, y>z
Step 4: Print the possible order.
Flow chart
Example 6
Determine and Output Whether Number N is Even or
Odd

Step 1: Read number N.


Step 2: Set remainder as N modulo 2.
Step 3: If the remainder is equal to 0, then number
N is even, else number N is odd.
Step 4: Print output.
Flow chart
Example 7
Calculate the Interest of a Bank Deposit

Step 1: Read amount.


Step 2: Read years.
Step 3: Read rate.
Step 4: Calculate the interest with the formula
"Interest=Amount*Years*Rate/100.
Step 5: Print interest.
Example 8
Determine Whether a Temperature is Below or Above the
Freezing Point

Step 1: Input temperature.


Step 2: If it is less than 32, then print "below freezing
point", otherwise print "above freezing point".
