3rd Term Computer Notes For Class : 7th
Chapter # 7 Algorithms & Flow Charts

D. Answer the following questions.

1. Why do we have to make selections? Explain with examples.
We have to make selections because there are many occasions where we have to choose from two or
more actions. For example, when we want to buy clothes, we have to select from several styles and
designs. Similarly, when we compose a document on a word processor, we have to select which font
colour or font size to use.
1. What is a condition?
A condition is a state that must be achieved for a certain event to take place. It is a necessary
requirement for an action. A condition describes the things that must happen before we can take an
action. A condition should be worded in the form of a question that has a Yes or No answer. If the
condition is not satisfied, we cannot perform the specific action.
2. When is a condition true? When is it not true?
A condition should be worded in the form of a question that has a Yes or No answer. A condition is true
when we can answer Yes to the question. A condition is not true when the answer to the question is
No.
3. How does the IF…THEN statement help us in making a selection?
The IF…THEN statement helps us in making a decision by specifying a condition and telling us what to
do if the condition is true. If the condition is not true, we continue with the previous action.
4. What is the difference between the IF…THEN statement and the IF…THEN…ELSE statement?
The difference between the IF…THEN statement and the IF…THEN…ELSE statement is that the IF…THEN
statement only tells us what to do if a condition is true. It does not tell us what to do if the condition is
not true. However, the IF…THEN…ELSE statement tells us both what to do if a condition is true and
what to do if the condition is not true.
5. Write an algorithm using an IF…THEN statement for deciding whether to refuel a car while driving
along the motorway.
1. Check fuel level.
2. IF fuel level is close to EMPTY, THEN refuel car.
3. Drive on.
6. Create an algorithm and a flow chart for deciding whether to buy a new television or a second-hand
one.
1. Find out cost of new television.
2. Find out cost of second-hand television.
3. Check family savings.
4. IF family savings > cost of new television, THEN buy new television, ELSE buy second-hand television.
5. Watch favourite programmes.

D. Answer the following questions.

1. What is the difference between the Internet and the Web?
The Internet is a network that can link all the computers in the world into a single network. It enables
the computers on these smaller networks to share data and resources with one another. The Web
consists of the files that can be shared over the Internet.
2. Explain the following terms:
a. Internet Service Provider
An Internet Service Provider is a company that maintains expensive web servers. These web servers
store large amounts of data. Internet Service Providers enable computer users to be connected to their
web servers.
b. gateway
A gateway enables a computer connected to a smaller network to be connected to the Internet.
c. bandwidth
Bandwidth is a measure of the amount of data that can be carried by a transmission medium. Fibre
optic cables have the greatest bandwidth.
2. What is a modem? Describe the different types of modems.
A modem is a device that modulates and demodulates data so that it can travel along a transmission
medium. It converts digital signals into analog signals to send them over a transmission medium. It
converts analog signals into digital signals to receive data being sent over a transmission medium.
There are three types of modems.
i. Telephone Dial Up Modem:
A telephone dial-up modem converts digital data into analog data and vice versa. Data transmission is
slow.
ii. Digital Subscriber Line :
Digital Subscriber Lines transmit data at a greater speed. They enable the telephone and the Internet
to be used at the same time.
Cable Modem:
A cable modem uses coaxial cables to transmit data. Cable modems are faster than telephone dial-up
modems and DSL.
3. Describe the function of the Favorites folder. How is it different from the History folder?
The Favorites folder enables us to bookmark a web page to view it at a later time. We can save our
preferred websites in the Favorites folder. It is different from the History folder because the URLs of
the all the websites we visit are stored automatically in the History folder.
4. How can we find information on the Web with the help of a search engine?
We can find information on the Web by entering keywords in a search engine. The search engine uses
the keywords to search websites that contain those keywords. It then displays a list of those websites.
We can then visit a relevant website by clicking on its URL.
5. How can we download information from the Web?
We can download information from the Web by clicking on the Tools button on the Internet browser.
We can then click on Save As in the File menu. Finally, we can select a name and location for saving the
file.

D. Answer the following questions.

1. What is meant by email? What are the advantages of email?
Email stands for electronic mail. It is a means of sending messages from one computer to another over
the Internet and other networks. Email has several advantages. It is faster and cheaper than other
modes of communication.
2. What is the function of an email address?
An email address identifies the sender and the receiver of an email message. Entering the receiver’s
email address enables the message to be sent to the right person. The sender’s email address lets the
receiver know who the message is from.
3. Describe the procedure for attaching a file to an email message.
A file can be attached to an email message by following the steps given below:
• Click on Attachments.
• Select the drive or folder where the file is located by using the Look in menu.
• Select the file by clicking on it.
• Click on Open
4. Why should we mention the subject of an email message?
We should mention the subject of an email message because it tells the receiver what the message is
about. The reader does not have to open every message to see what it contains
5. What does the Deleted folder contain? Can we recover a message that we have deleted?
The Deleted folder contains email messages that have been deleted or removed from the Inbox. We
can recover a message that we have deleted because deleted messages remain in the Deleted folder
for a few days.
6. What is the difference between Cc and Bcc?
When we send an email message as Cc, all the recipients know that a copy has been sent to other
people. However, when we send an email message as Bcc, the recipients do not know that copies have
been sent to other people.
