    The document discusses algorithms, flowcharts, their characteristics and uses. It provides examples of algorithms to solve everyday problems like making tea, going for a picnic, etc. It also includes flowcharts for problems like finding the cost of pens and playing music from a CD. Key points covered are: - An algorithm is a step-by-step procedure to solve a problem with inputs, generality and definiteness. - A flowchart visually represents the logic/steps of a problem-solving process using standard symbols. - Examples demonstrate algorithms and flowcharts can model processes clearly in a language-independent way.

    Algorithms and Flowcharts

    1. What is an algorithm? Write any three characteristics of an algorithm.

    The step-by-step procedure to solve any logical and mathematical problem is called an
    Algorithm. Three characteristics of an algorithm are:

    1. Input — An algorithm accepts an input.


    2. Generality — An algorithm works in a set of inputs.
    3. Definiteness — Each instruction should be written in a simple and precise manner so
    that everyone can understand it.

    2. What is Flowchart?
    A flowchart is a diagrammatic representation of a problem-solving process in which steps
    are laid out in logical order.

    3. What are the characteristics of a good algorithm?


    Following are the characteristics of a good algorithm:
    a. It receives an input.
    b. It works on a set of inputs.
    c. The steps must be precisely defined.
    d. The result of each step should depend on the results of previous steps.
    e. It stops after a finite number of instructions.
    f. It produces the desired output.
    4. What are the advantages of Algorithm?

    • It is a step-wise representation of a solution to a given problem, which makes it easy to


    understand.
    • An algorithm uses a definite procedure.
    • It is not dependent on any programming language, so it is easy to understand for
    anyone even without programming knowledge.
    • Every step in an algorithm has its own logical sequence so it is easy to debug.
    5. Explain the different symbols used in a flowchart.
    Following are the different symbols used in a flowchart:
    1
    a. Oval (Start/Stop box): Used to indicate the start and end of the program.
    b. Rectangle (Process box): Indicates processes or actions.
    c. Parallelogram (Input/Output box): Indicates input and output of a program.
    d. Diamond (Decision box): Used in situation which demands one to choose either ‘Yes’
    or ‘No’.
    e. Arrow line (Flow lines): Shows the flow of logic in a flowchart.

    6. What are the two types of connectors in a flowchart? Explain their uses.
    Following are the two types of connectors in a flowchart:
    a. Off-page connectors: Used for joining the parts of a flowchart that occupies more
    than one page.
    b. On-page connectors: To join the parts of a flowchart contained within one page.
    7. What are the rules for flowcharting?
    Following are the rules for flowcharting:
    a. A flowchart should have only one Start and one Stop symbol.
    b. The general direction of flow in a flowchart is from top to bottom or from left to right.
    c. Arrowheads are used to indicate the flow of information or sequence of steps.
    2
    d. The arrow lines should not cross each other.
    e. Off-page and on-page connectors should be used when joining parts of a flowchart
    spanning multiple pages/same page.

    8. What are the advantages of Flowchart?

     Flowchart is an excellent way of communicating the logic of a program.


    • Easy and efficient to analyze problem using flowchart.
    • During program development cycle, the flowchart plays the role of a blueprint, which
    makes program development process easier.
    • After successful development of a program, it needs continuous timely maintenance
    during the course of its operation. The flowchart makes program or system
    maintenance easier.
    • It is easy to convert the flowchart into any programming language code

    9. What are the Disadvantage of flowchart?

     The flowchart can be complex when the logic of a program is quite complicated.
     Drawing flowchart is a time-consuming task.
     It is just a visualization of a program, it cannot function like an actual program
