4-27TH-JAN-Algorithm & Flowchart

This document discusses algorithms, flowcharts, and their importance in programming. It defines an algorithm as a step-by-step approach to solve a problem and lists its key features. A flowchart is described as the graphical representation of an algorithm using standard symbols. Several examples are given of writing algorithms and drawing corresponding flowcharts to find the sum of two numbers, calculate the area and perimeter of a rectangle, convert temperatures between Fahrenheit and Celsius, and more. The document emphasizes that defining the algorithm and flowchart helps structure the problem-solving approach before writing the actual program code.

Algorithm & Flowchart

Prof. Debashis Hati


Program & Programming
Program A set of instructions which is used to process the
input data and produces the result.

Programming the way of writing program.

What is the requirement?


(1)Studying the syntax and semantics( grammar and meaning) of
a Programming language.
(2)A set of procedure/tools/techniques that help you write a
program
(3)A system with software( os, compiler, editor) is required to
write and execute the program
Algorithm & Flowchart
Before writing a program, to analyze the problem there is a
need of algorithm and flowchart.
Algorithm is a step by step approach to solve a problem.
Features
(1) Finiteness terminates after fixed no of steps.
(2) Definiteness Each step performs the operation without any
ambiguity.
(3) Effectiveness All operations should be basic operations like
addition, subtraction,…,comparison etc.
(4) Input has one or more inputs.
(5) Output has one or more outputs.
Flowchart
Flowchart graphical representation of algorithm.
Symbols used
start / stop Flow direction

Input / output

Processing connector

Decision making
Write an algorithm and flow chart to find the
sum of two numbers.
Algorithm :
1)Start
2)Read / input number1 and number2
3) sumnumber1+number2
4)Print sum
5)Stop
Draw the corresponding flow chart.
Continued..
• Flow chart
start

Read Number1 ,
Number2

Sum=Number1+Number2

Print Sum

stop
Area and perimeter of Rectangle
Algorithm :
1)Start
2)Read / input length and breadth
3)arealength* breadth
4)perimeter2*(length+breadth)
4)Print area, perimeter
5)Stop
Draw the corresponding flow chart.

• Write algorithm and draw flowchart
Find the roots of a quadratic
equation ax2+bx+c=0
Algorithm :
1) Start
2) Read / input coefficents a,b and c
3) Discrimant d= b2 – 4ac
4) If (d==0)
Root1=root2= -b/2a
5) If (d>0)
Root1= (-b+sqrt(d))/ 2a
Root2= (-b-sqrt(d))/ 2a
6)Draw the corresponding flow chart.
How algorithm & flowchart help you to write
program??
