Presentation

The document explains algorithms as step-by-step instructions for solving problems or performing tasks, applicable in various fields like mathematics and computer programming. It introduces flowcharts as visual representations of algorithms, detailing their symbols and how they correspond to different actions in a process. An example algorithm for traveling to a city center is provided, along with a flowchart illustrating its steps and symbols.

WHAT DONEC
IS ANQUIS
ALGORITHM?
NUNC

An algorithm is a set of instructions used to solve a problem


or to perform a task.

In other words, we can say that an algorithm is a step by step


process. Either it can be Mathematics, Computer
Programming or any real life situation, we can use algorithms
to achieve desired results.

We will be looking into an algorithm later in this presentation,


which is based on a real life situation.

WHAT IS A FLOWCHART?

A flowchart is a pictorial representation of an algorithm.

It can also be defined as a type of diagram that shows the


process involved in solving a process or getting an output in
computer programming.

Flowchart consists of different types shapes/symbols and


each symbol is used to represent a specific type of action.
We’ll be looking into these symbols in detail with an example.
ALGORITHM FOR
DONEC TRAVELLING
QUIS NUNC

Let’s consider a real life situation - Travelling from our house


to city center. We’ll create an algorithm for this process.

Step 1 : Click google maps.

Step 2 : Search City Center.

Step 3 : Click Directions.

Step 4: If bus available, walk to the bus stop.

Step 5: Get onto the bus and travel to the destination.

Step 6: OR reach the destination by car.

FLOWCHART SYMBOLS

Now, based on our algorithm we will create a flowchart.

As we discussed before that flowchart consists of different


shapes or symbols, we will look into those shapes and how
we can use them to represent our algorithm.

We will be using five basic symbols in this example. They


are : Start/End symbol, Arrow symbol, Input/Output symbol,
Process symbol and Decision symbol.
FLOWCHART BASED ON
THE ALGORITHM

As we can see the flowchart is based


on our algorithm and each step is
written in a different shape.
Start is written in “oval” shape.
Second step in “rectangular” shape,
because it’s a process. Third step in
“parallelogram” shape, because it’s
an input to the maps.
Bus availability is written in
“diamond” shape, because it’s
decision time to decide whether to
take a bus or car.
