Flow Chart

The document discusses different types of procedures used to represent algorithms including flowcharts, pseudocode, and algorithms. It provides examples of different flowchart symbols like start/stop, input/output, process, decision, and control flow. It also outlines some basic rules for constructing a flowchart like ensuring all boxes are connected by arrows and every flowchart must start with a terminal or process symbol.

procedure

Aprocedure is a finite sequence of


well-defined instructions, each of
which can be carried out in a finite
amount of time.
Algorithm

 Analgorithm is a step-by-step
procedure to solve a given problem.
Flow Chart

A flowchart is a type of diagram that


represents an algorithm or process
Pseudo Code

A pseudo code is a compact and


informal high-level description of a
program
Flow Chart – Terminal Symbol

Flowchart Rules

 Flowchart is generally drawn from top to bottom


 All boxes of flowchart must be connected with arrow
 All flowchart start with a terminal or process symbol
 Decision symbol have 2 exit points, one for YES (TRUE)
and another for NO (FALSE)
Exercise 01 : - Add 10 and 20
Start

Algorithm Sum = 0

1. Initialize sum = 0
(process) Enter 10, 20
2. Enter the numbers (I/O)
3. Add the numbers and Sum = 10 + 20
store the result in sum
(process)
Print sum
4. Print sum (I/O)

Start
Flowchart Structures

1) Sequence
2) Selection
3) Repetition
Sequence
Selection (Decision)
Repetition (Loop)
Pseudocode

 Pseudo-code is a step-by-step process that simplifies the


execution of a program in a simple way (so that it can be
converted to a real computer language).
 Pseudo-code is simply presented to anyone who has no standard
consensus or even no knowledge of programming.

BEGIN

END
Ex-
 pseudo-code for a simple program that calculates the
total amount payable when you include the hourly and
hourly rate

Begin
input hours
input rate
pay=hours*rate
print pay
End
