Algorithm and Flowchart Quiz

Algorithm Basics

• An algorithm is a set of instructions used to solve a specific problem or perform a particular task.
• It consists of a well-defined procedure that takes some input, processes it, and produces a corresponding output.

Algorithm Implementation

• An algorithm can be implemented in various forms, such as:
  • Natural language (e.g., English)
  • Flowcharts
  • Pseudocode
  • Programming languages (e.g., Python, Java)

Problem-Solving Tools

• A flowchart is a graphical representation of an algorithm, used to visualize the steps involved in solving a problem.
• The purpose of a flowchart is to:
  • Identify the problem's logic
  • Break down complex problems into simpler steps
  • Illustrate the decision-making process

Pseudocode Role

• Pseudocode is a high-level representation of an algorithm, written in a structured English-like language.
• The function of pseudocode is to:
  • Describe the algorithm's logic in a concise and readable format
  • Serve as a bridge between the problem's natural language description and its implementation in a programming language
