Q.1. (Total 5 Marks)

An algorithm is a step by step solution to a given problem.

Read all FOUR steps of an algorithm and draw a flowchart for it.
1. Assign the value 0 to the variables SUM and N respectively.
2. Apply an increment on N by 1 and store the new value back in variable N.
3. Add the values of SUM and N. Store the result back in SUM variable.
4. If the value of N is equal to 50, then print the value of SUM otherwise repeat the steps 2, 3 and 4
until the value of N is equal to 50.
(Note: Use the same variable names in flowchart that are given in the algorithm.)
