Computer Programming CG

Flowcharts graphically depict the logical steps of an algorithm and how they relate to each other. They use standard symbols to represent different components like processes, inputs, outputs, decisions, and connections between steps. The document provides examples of flowcharts for algorithms involving sequence, decision, and looping structures. It also discusses pseudocode, which outlines programs using English-like phrases, and notes that while flowcharts are useful for learning programming concepts, pseudocode and other techniques may be preferred in professional settings due to flowcharts being time-consuming.

BASIC OF

FLOWCHART
DIAGRAM 1
Three tools are used to convert algorithms into
computer programs:
Flowchart - Graphically depicts
the logical steps to carry out a
task and shows how the steps
relate to each other.
Pseudocode - Uses English-like
phrases with some Visual
Basic terms to outline the
program.

ALGORITHM
1. Request the number of sheets of paper; call it Sheets.
(input)
2. Divide Sheets by 5. (processing)
3. Round the quotient up to the next highest whole number;
call it Stamps. (processing)
4. Reply with the number Stamps. (output)

STATEMENT STRUCTURES
Sequence – follow instructions
from one line to the next without
skipping over any lines
Decision - if the answer to a
question is “Yes” then one group
of instructions is executed. If the
answer is “No,” then another is
executed
Looping – a series of instructions
are executed over and over

PSEUDOCODE
Program: Determine the average grade of a
class
Initialize Counter and Sum to 0
Do While there are more data
Get the next Grade
Add the Grade to the Sum
Increment the Counter
Loop
Computer Average = Sum / Counter
Display Average

TIPS AND TRICKS OF FLOWCHARTS
Flowcharts are time-consuming to write
and difficult to update
For this reason, professional programmers
are more likely to favor pseudocode and
hierarchy charts
Because flowcharts so clearly illustrate
the logical flow of programming
techniques, they are a valuable tool in
the education of programmers
