Algorithm Flowchart

The document outlines the objectives of describing and creating algorithms and flowcharts for problem-solving in programming. It defines an algorithm as a sequence of specified actions to solve a problem and provides an example for adding two numbers. Additionally, it explains flowcharts as diagrams that represent processes and includes rules for creating them, along with an activity for creating an algorithm and flowchart to determine if a number is odd or even.

EXAMPLE OF AN
ALGORITHM
TO ADD TWO NUMBERS
ENTERED BY A USER.
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
